My F2 today moving some apple tree branches - Yesterday it was full of tractor attachments - Two dirt plows, a pig pole, an eight foot blade plow and a forklift thingie.

Here's an entertaining little bit with a couple Ford pickups at the beginning. On of the logging trucks (might) be a Ford.

Awesome video thanks. I'm a little choked up right now as I kinda lived that. Brings back a lot of memories. Mostly of the dead I helped pack out. Was a different time, and a much different way of logging than now that's for sure.

The first pickup that rolls into the logging camp was a 53 Ford...

There was an old sawmill like the one in the vid at the end of the road to my Uncles house - It had the big shed for the mill saw, a float pond to rustle the logs, a hugh dust pile that would catch fire about once a month and the drying sheds for the cut boards - We were given dire warnings of what would happen to us if we went there - It was like a written invention, wonder I'm still alive and in one piece.

Yes old Mills and mines and stuff like that are so cool. Other than stick my head in I have never been in a cave or mine. Just something about being underground that really bothers me.:-hair

That mill was in central Pennsyltucky - My grandparents lived in Curwensville on a hill overlooking the town - There were three mineshafts that we could access that had been closed for years - On another Uncles farm in the same area we used a caved in mineshaft as the dump - It was in the middle of a hayfield that we used all the time - Last time I was down there the opening was about 3/4 time larger - Since it hasn't caught fire no one is worried about it.

I agree Tricky.

My perception of a flashlight: A container for holding dead batteries. Once beyond the light from the opening I am very uncomfortable going down into a mine although I have done it on a number of occasions.

:-huh

Yes I do my mining above ground Bruce. With a gold pan. Just got a new plastic one. Have yet to try it out. Going shooting tomorrow than in a day or so will go try for some color. There is gold in every creek on this Island I am told. And I have found some in everyone I have tried. I haven't checked but last I heard it was like 17 hundred an ounce. That's worth putting on the hip waders for. Still got the snow run off so I won't be in the creek very long at a time. come on up and brings the bunnies and there family's. We could have a blast and maybe even make exspences (sp).

Mervy, Cool video! Thanks for posting. I spent the last hour youtubing similar and other videos like that one. :-X22

I know this is a bit newer truck than supposed to be in here but I thought it was a cool picture anyway. I took picture this last Satuday while I was out and about.

Love that drilling rig.

I don't care what the dowser said, I'd be setting up a little further from that power line. Haha!
