Tall White Pines ...

A very tall and magnificent series of White Pine Plantation remains along truck trail. Unfortunately, these White Pines will probably eventually be logged or otherwise die, such as from a wind storm. White Pine is an exceptionally softwood, and when they get this big they tend not to last.
