Old logging/truck pictures

Smee,

The link should work now. I can't look at it here at work as the firewall is blocking it.

My new hp laptop isn't here yet to see everyone's pictures and links. I guess the model I ordered is so popular that they can't build them fast enough. The solder will probably still be warm when FedEx drops it off at the house. ::)

I'm definitely interested in old logging stuff. I live in an area with plenty of logging history and logging still goes on here today.

Some of that logging from many years ago is evident by the broken and stripped logging equipment left in the woods here and there. Some of the old stumps we dug out on our place were notched for springboards. For the uninitiated click this link: http://www.historicphotoarchive.com/caps/00029.html

Hey Wayne, I'm not sure how to put this link into the forum but it has some really neat pictures of the 'old days' of logging on the West Coast. We think it's normal to have big trees and equipment but some don't. Feel free to post the link and have a visit. Enjoy, the memories. I know you're not old enough but I think you've seen a lot of this stuff. Later Pat

ps. It snowed today for the first time. I'm still waiting for summer. That late spring really screwed up the year.

Thanks Wayne, My "coast" time was involved with the big stuff of M&B on the Charlottes. Loved those Hayes HDX with the 17' bunks. The yarders and grapples were so neat to watch and the power of that stuff.. I remember watching the yarders on a steep sidehill pulling up the big spruce. Stuff weighed thousands of pounds and moved across grade over 60mph. The stumps really flew when they got hit and the lines shook and everything strained. Made you feel really small. I'm glad I got to see that stuff before it was gone. Smee
