Old logging pictures

[stansblue72]

Here's some pictures of logging in the 20's in Washington. The guy sitting in the middle holding a smoke is my Grandfather. The pictures where taken by a guy named Darius Kinski (not sure about last name spelling) He would show up on job sites, take pictures than take orders for prints. Are family is lucky that my Grandpa always purchased one from him. These are three of about 10 that my Dad has.

The last one is of one of my Dad and Uncles log trucks in the Timber Bowl Rodeo in Darrington Washington back in the early 60's.

Wow , those are huge trees. I love those old pictures, the truck in picture two is tough! I saw a special once where a man found a ton of that old growth timber at the bottom of one of the Great Lakes. The cold water preserved it. He found a way to float them to the surface with balloons and harvested the wood. People are now paying stupid money for the wood because of it`s age and beauty.
