Mogibb1,

Welcome to the Forestry Forum. Sometimes it helps a lot to give us a general location of the specimen.

Virginia pine was my first thought too

If virginia pine, the inner tip of the cone scale will have a purple lip, contrasting sharply with the brown color where the seed wing ends.

Since this is a sorta learning exercise, I would have appreciated knowing whether you were looking at the bark, cones, needles, tree structure, etc.
Learning that you were "knowledgeable" won't help me with future identifications. :P

Welcome to the Forum, PewaukeeTree. I used to hate it when my parents would say. "Because I said so!" lol Explanations help everybody get smarter. Anyway, I too am interested in how you deduced that it is a Mexican Pinyon. Long way from home, isn't it?

Yes, it would be far from it's range in Indiana.
