Friend Keith called up the other night and said, "Let's go logging"
Guess he figured that, after last week's trip, things could only get better.
So we loaded up and set out again..........
Here's another shot of the barge
The usual lineup of critters showed
even saw some red flowers
first log coming up, it might be a keeper, that squared off end indicates that it's a chop log - cut about a hundred years ago and sank before it got to the mill
Here it is strapped to the barge, definitely a chop log. Square on the little end and axe cut on the big end. BTW, that's a friend on the other end, he's fifty feet away. This log is about 40" across has about 3000 bd/ft lumber in it. Definitely a keeper
Second log of the day is a drift log. It still has the root ball and the top. It's been in the water since before the loggers came through or they would have cut it.
bucking off the top
Just a day trip but just under 4000 bd'ft ain't bad for one day
