Lowboy Corner

[slowp]

It is hard to show in a picture, but this is a corner where 2 different drivers with 2 different lowboys both said they had one wheel hanging over. There's a culvert on the inside so they can't swing as wide as they want.

Here's looking down.

My neighbor lady would LOVE to be in the passenger seat and looking down for a nice drive in the country like that. :hmm3grin2orange:

She might claw a hole in the seat and arm rest with her fingernails digging in though. Might need to "pry" her out of the truck afterwards...

The second photo make me happy I listened to the old timers and got out when I did. At the time it was just another day, looking now I'm happy I don't have to crawl around on those gentle sloping hill anymore. Also glad I don't have to haul on some of those roads anymore too. Sometimes it doesn't pay to look in the mirror, just line up close your eyes and go.

Heres one up here on the DNR hill behind the house not a corner but would want to Broadcast on the CB where i was at its narrow. You can see the lower road about a thousand feet down thru the fog.Didnt someone ask once why we use those small trailers. Patty I always enjoy your threads cause they always have a good story and pics.
Hope ya dont mind the pic additions they are on topic.

PS I havent worn white since labor day.

PS PS I havent worn white in eons.

There's a road down by Happy Camp built on top of a Hilfiker wall. That's those cages of rocks. THAT road is scary.

When they are hauling, I usually will meet a log truck on the lowboy corner. I'm good at backing up.

Can't speak for the drier parts of the state but here we get 200+ days of measurable rain a year.

Shhhhhhhh. More people will want to move here. It rains all the time. Even on the east side. All the time. Except for maybe a couple days in August.

I have been to Humptulips. Nothing could be seen. It was foggy and drizzy. I slept in a semi-trailer, which was drier than a tent.

Those are just the days they can measure the rain or snow remember the side ways continuous drizzle never hits the ground so can only be measured by wringing out your clothes into a bucket and using a formula for rain fall equivalent. And I will be attending the Sun festival August 32nd.

Wasn't the Sun Festival cancelled last year due to rain?

We did have a clear day yesterday before I got soaked on a walk up the hill behind the house. For those that arnt familiar with Western washington this is what we call a clear day even tho an hour later it was pouring down rain and foggy and windy and dark at 1 oclock in the afternoon. These pics were takin around 12:30. We call it clear because you can actually see the bare hills wich should have several feet of snow on them. I live in the valley just slightly to the left of the pic.

Yea, it gets that way in the summer. Now its just raining and blowing and raining. Maybe that'll keep the Californians away.
Seriously though it rains all the time, no jobs ,no work. You don't want to go there.

Same here. And if you did move here you'd have a hard time finding a place that didn't flood or slide or have trees blow down on it.
