Idaho pine tree growth

Mystery! Mystery! Found in Fall Creek Area Mountains

A vigorous hike up Camp Creek in the Fall Creek area of the Boise Mountains resulted in a few mysteries (to me). I was hoping some of my regular readers could educate me in what I saw during my 1st exploration into this area. You can read about this hike from a previous post at:  http://bondyweb.com///mountain-home-outdoors/53-elmore-county-outdoors/436-great-hiking-opportunity-on-camp-creek-near-mountain-home
