Ah the Britton's, Ben never like'd me or anybbody LOL! Was a hell of a logger thoug Brian is a good buddy of mine. Aaron Eccentric, score'd more Caz saw's than me! Well one will parmeter's old Mac sp81, And is resurecting Will's now his son John's homelite 750. That saw some Old Cazadero Growth, don't know if you remember year's back him on the front page of the press democrat, a good write up took down a monster on Bohan Dillion road. All the log's went out via low bed, and took two 966's to load em. Pretty sure the 750, and 56, or 64 where in on that! I was about 14 when I first saw the pic's.

I was gone at the time of that P/D story. left caz in 68 thanks to uncle sam and did not move back. wifes parents still had the cabin. I remember Ben well, he never took off his old beat up hard hat, and if he did he had an old felt hat on. Of course Jer and I had to have hats similar. funny things you do as kids.

I did respect Ben though, because he was a real logger. He barber chaire'd a tree, and partially gutted himself, and got hit bad between the leg's to most guy's would have die'd from the shock or been layed out. He drove himself to the hospital. Tough bird.

Well I have good news and bad news. Good news is I got to see some nice redwood trees, bad news is they were from the cab of the tow truck.
So I could not talk the tow truck driver into stopping and letting me take a few pics, and by the time I finished fixing my car and getting back on the road it was to late and had to motor onward. There was a nice one right across 101 where I broke down but was too far from the road and had a impenetrable wall of blackberry bushes in front of it and I have the scratches to prove it.

Had a good visit with family, bought another car in Montana use'd. Coming back home through Nevada to pick up the volvo on a car caddy. Broke down again spent the nigh in Nevada again. Loade'd up when car was fixe'd, and got the hell home. Don't car to see Nevada again LOL!

Broke a crank in Verdi, NV (by Reno) and another time broke a pushrod/pushrod tube 30 miles west of Winnemuca. I gues that cars don't like to leave NV.

Funny place is Verdi, half in CA, half in NV. One of the darkest places in winter, mountains hide the sun, worse than in Truckee.

I think we will be heading back to the coast next year but not sure how far south we will make it, kind of depends on whether or not I need to see my family in Nevada. I grew up in the high desert of NV and really enjoy the history and the places forgotten by time, you just have to pack extra water and gas.

Went out to Redwood country, Cazadero on friday. Did a little road work on one of the ranche's, and had to finish a tree job. John, Jesus, Bob, and me. Was a real ggod deal, because my good friend Jesus got to learn some basic's with the flipline, and spur's. He use'd to free climb alot of stuff, and has alot of natural ability. John parmeter is another good buddy, and another tree work partner, our number one climber. He had to do the redwood he was up 150 ft, got a few nice pic's can't get em up right now. I wish it was as easy as facebook to download pic's oh well got em up over there. But it was a fun evening I alway's enjoy watching John, and it was nice to see Jesus pic up alot. Good time's in the redwood's.
