Being a logger you'd think you'd be more prone to getting hurt at work rather than when your out enjoying your weekend. I graciously fell while I was looking for ginseng this morning and here's the result. Maybe I need a bubble to live in.

Nice pics fellas. I have a huge patch of wild camomile which spreads further and further. I eat it raw every night and I sleep like the dead.

I see you have a few burglar repellers handy in the background.

Snapped this picture for my logger friends while touring the old Ponce Inlet lighthouse. I couldn't back up enough to get it to fit.

It is a kedge anchor used to hold old logging ships in place while they loaded and unloaded logs cut off the islands near Florida (Bahamas) many years ago. Ron

What kind of trees grew on the islands?

 

[rwoods]

Never been there so I don't know. My information came from the sign in the picture. But according to this link, pine - http://www.academia.edu/11586721/Bahamian_Pine_Forests_a_History_of_Logging_from_1905_to_1972.

Long leaf pine and cypress were once big in Florida where I was born and raised.

[2dogs]

By big do you mean there were a lot of those trees or those trees were logged?

 

[rwoods]

2dogs, both. Actually all three - many, large and logged. Ron

I cringe to think of the bugs in those swamps. A guy would be one big bite at the end of the day. I remember a video of two guys chopping a cypress from a boat. They worked in tandem as the boat rocked.
