centenial tree

Great pics Pac! I liked how the guy was on his hands and knees counting the rings in the one pic. You'd need a spotter for that damn thing. That and like Cody pointed out, pretty funny how close everyone is standing.

Thanks for posting those pics, it really was a different time I often wish I had been born in the 30's as it was possibly the most exciting time for us humans with all the advances and the drive for materials for rebuilding after the war and subsequent boom. For now I'll just have to put a 13" bar on the saw and pretend the trees are really forest giants !!

You didn't have to be born in the 30s. I'm the guy on the ground in I think 1984.

Wish I had a better picture but it was 12' on the butt. What was impressive though was the first 4 cuts were 40s. Quite the tug to bring them to the landing.

We had a husband and wife set of fallers around here for a few years. She was just as good on the saw as he was plus she'd bring home made cookies to work. He cussed better, though.

Very good! Nice spruce. There use to be several of them right next to Hwy 112 headed toward Clallam Bay, on the Olympic Peninsula. Don't believe any are left though.

Still some along 101 near Quinault.

There are some in Del Norte and Northern Humboldt.

This one is at the entrance to the Prairie Creek State Park.

please scuse my politically incorrect observation that one of the only things hotter than a woman driving a pickup is a woman using a chainsaw.

Is that who that was? Never met her, but heard about her from numerous coworkers when I was fallin timber for Columbia. I remember bein in a saw shop in Priest River Idaho that had a pic of a Woman falling a nice cedar. The guy in the shop said she was the owner.

You'd just have to decide if you should name it the "suck this" thread or the "now just shut the #### up" thread.

Great pick. Looks like Cody in some of his early pics.

I would have kicked Jagger Jennys ass! At the rip old age of 19

I don't even get carded anymore

I do. Really. I asked for the senior citizen discount at the local chinese buffet and I had to show them my ID to prove I was over sixty. Made me feel good. Real good.

Cody could buy new saws because he was saving money not buying razor blades.
