Dustin Ainsworth photographed the remains of the Freedom Tree being carted off through downtown Coeur d'Alene from its long-time spot on McEuen Field. Meanwhile, Duane Rasmussen brought a sap-filled pine cone from the Freedom Tree to Huckleberries Central. Wonderful smell. I've placed the pine cone among my memorabilia.
