A very unpleasant plant (if you are not familiar with it!). I was still busy hours later removing the burdock fruits from my clothes...
If someone should recognize the exact location (photos 4 and 5), I would be very grateful if you could tell me the coordinates... It was somewhere at Lake Kaweah, where there was a parking lot.
Found on mudflat between Cimarron River and Oxbow lake, left exposed because of the amount of water Corps of Engineer let go out of the Keystone Dam.
Woody looking, brown balls with many spikes
