early pics.

a few more sawmill pictures.
a few more including some log jams.
a few more.
some more pictures.
A couple Log Dumps and an old Bandsaw mill.
Bored log pipes laid in Pennsylvania before 1820. Hollowed-out logs were often used for water and sewage conveyance in early times in the U.S. The raw material (wood) was readily available and the 3' - 4' lengths could be hollowed out by hand augering or burning.
Had this on another thread and really liked the photo. Look at the size of the center base log compared to the men and horses.
A few more pics.

West coast trees ehhhh???
The ones with the big very deeply furrowed bark are either Doug Firs or redwoods the others are probably either western hemlocks or Cedars, Alders,,,,Some of them do look like blue spruces too,,,
Its hard to imagine even with a picture how really stately those big Monarchs of trees were,,,,There are a few left,,,,,
This is a blue spruce in the Hoh rainforest just Southwest of Port Angeles WA,, The placard said the DBH was 13.5 feet, 279 feet tall, (almost a football field) and between 500-575 years old,,,,,

Not really, well kinda
Really, that particular tree is about 60' off the gravel. The area is all virgin and the higher up the mountain you go the small they get as expected, but small is still larger then anything they let us cut today. If you are familiar with highway 2 you will go through sultan, startup ,gold bar, index etc..when you get to Skykomish turn to the east and follow the road through town bearing to the right and follow the signs to Miller river road, It will be a left hand turn. The road dead ends at a trail head approximately 7 or 8 miles after you start on it. The other trees would require some hiking but you can see them from the location of the picture. Hope this helps. Its a nice drive anyway.
