Logging pride

[Cedarkerf]

Buckley Washingtons annual 2011 log show includes a parade of logging equipment down main street. I dont know how many towns still have these kind of events but this is a great one.

[Gologit]

Great stuff. More, please.

 

[paccity]

here here, keep them comeing. we used to have the same parade. now it's just a norm one with no logging particapants. kinda sad.

 

[slowp]

Maybe Morton will have more than one log truck in the parade this year. There's definitely more logging going on in the area. I'm impressed. That looks better than the Morton one.

Long day at the log show fortunately just across the river.

First is vid of tree topping this guy is greatat climbing Tyson Hanson. All particapents are loggers or are affilliated no pro timbersports guys are allowed makes for a great contest.

This one will make some east coasters and sfety police pee their pants. Obstacle pole bucking and yes it is relavent to PNW logging if ya dont get why then ya must be an eastern flat lander.

If that was in eastern PA, the DOT would have set up a mobile weigh station on that street.

Great pics, Cedar.
That nine log load is a nice one. Funny how nine logs on a truck now turns my head when 20 years ago I'd have though, "Yeah, OK." They only way we'll ever see anything bigger is if some old fart that owns a secluded 160 acres has it logged. Still, it's nice to see nice logs heading down the road. I hope SlowP is right that Morton will have a good show this year. Send more pics if you have them.

 

[forestryworks]

Thanks for sharing.

That looks like fun.

On the long drive home from kayaking (I think it might be SEVEN miles) I saw a 5 log load pulled out in a wide spot. I should have stopped, I knew the driver, but there wasn't room. The logs looked like they'd been buried for a few years. I was wondering if he was going to clean the logs up and make a parade load out of them?

Who did the truck belong to?

 

[slowp]

It was the lime green one that belongs to Pat E. I do not think he would have a truck in the parade.

 

[nw axe man]

If I'm not mistaken he used to drive a PLS truck with lumber on it in the parade years ago. Where in the world is a 5 log load coming from up here? Must be a private patch or state.

 

[Cedarkerf]

Try some more still cant get image inserted so youll have to open them

 

[Cedarkerf]

Few more.

Yea its funny how small the logs are that get your attention this day in age. Just gld I live close to a community that wants the logging heritage live on.

 

[paccity]

[Cedarkerf]

Thanks nice to hear from ya

The logs were dirty and looked like they were a few years old and buried. He was pulled off at the Port Blakely gate on the big curve of Kiona Road.

A few yrs ago an outfit here had tag axles on the trailers. Guess they turned a few over before they got it right. They were from Mill City.

I have never seen seen a tag axle behind the drivers on a log truck.

Nice images...thanks.
