Buckley loggers memorial Really cool burl

I saw some big redwoods that had huge burls on them, they even had them coming off of the roots.

Thank you. They are mostly alder with a few cottonwoods here and there.
There's more maple at the lower elevations.

Here is one from the nearby town of Snoqaulmie used to be a big time logging town.

That looks too scary for the yuppie Seattle crowd.

Maybe that was the point of the mural after all its the first thing you see driving in from the falls.

 

[Meadow Beaver]

Whoever painted that did a nice job.

Here is a rail car designed specially to bring giant logs into the mill.

I like how it has the pushing mechanism on it to push the log off.

If we did that here, it would interfere with the beer on sale plastic banner.
That's the only wall that might be big enough for one truck.

nice pic Brian, What building is that on? Dont get though snoqaulmie much anymore but worked up there around 75 for weyerhauser timber, logging side.

Snoqaulimie pass is the main pass to eastern WA and I live on Stevens pass.

the next pass north of me is Hwy 20 and closes in winter snow.

here is a pic of the north cascade loop.

see oak harbor on left. they make gas over there in anacortes.

that about were you live gary? I live where the arrow points

Snoqualimie is right next to northbend on this map.

p.s. this loop is about a 750 mile trip...

Cant remember whats in the building but comming into town from fall city you pass the tiny bowling alley and is like 3rd building on the left. Went to the Weyerhauser mill and a logging side for high school forestry class back in 79.

Anybody else get their bar in some wood today?

 

[Meadow Beaver]

Hey Stihl Hyde did you get that v-stack from Madsen's?

 

[John Ellison]

Hey Sawbones,
My brother and I were working for Weyerhaeuser out of Snoqualmie in 76. Were you still there then? I think there were seventeen sides going.
He still lives in Fall City.
That was some big country for a couple of greenhorns from the cornfields of Indiana.

Lookie, its a PNW Thing---a beauty picture of "filtered sunlight." I had to put on shades because today was so bright! Perfect for killing more baby alders.

Here's a creek (pronounced crick) that you usually can't drive to this time of year.
