Logging!


Today I drove this truck full of logs for the renovations, down a logging road very slow and cautious as it was very back heavy. It's a really old Ford F350 pickup and I felt like I was in "The Waltons" driving it! Old style steering wheel, brakes you have to do a leg press to stop with, steering that is questionable and a huge turning circle!

Dale and Scott chainsawed the trees and manoeuvred with their tractors and huge Caterpillar until the logs were loaded. I'd jam them on the flatbed of the truck and then precariously drove them down to the mill on a logging road.

I sure am really experiencing backcountry life here!
