Here is an excerpt...
Shovel logging is a technique which I became interested in applying as soon as I heard about it out West some five years or so ago. It was not until early in 1992 that I got the opportunity to see the technique applied to Virginia's Mountains. This opportunity spun out of efforts to attract efficient skyline operations that would use the latest in rigging skills. Just so happens that progressive loggers use progressive techniques, and along with the cable yarding skills came a shovel logger. The man's name was Ross Hojem, president of H&H Logging from Chehalis, Washington. After several trips from the West to see our timber conditions and markets, H&H Logging was the high bidder on the Parker's Gap cable salvage timber sale, close to Natural Bridge, Virginia.
