I was just Google Earth floating over some old backcountry trips I've done. When I was at Lemhi Pass I had it all to myself. Surprised to see 20+ trucks and trailers and large circle of people standing around. Trucks mostly white so Govt maybe? Don't know when pic was taken? Check Google Earh and see what you think?

That was taken June 30, 2014 according to "Show Historical Imagery" on toolbar in Google Earth. It is the same one used in maps. When searched, there is reference to a mine that was active 2008-2015 so maybe it was mining activity.

Thanks for tip on finding photo date! After another look I'm pretty sure it must be a Fire / Forestry Group or maybe Search & Rescue with ATVs & horse trailer. Circle of people standing around side of big trailer looking at maps or something. I tried searching news around that date but found nothing important going on. Maybe a training exercise? No mining activity, it's right in the middle of big road intersection right on top of the pass.

Yup. It could have been anything, but nothing unusual.
