Logging in WA (OLD PICS) very cool and sad
« on: March 22, 2011, 11:32:46 PM »
Got these in a email today  I have seen these stumps as I am sure a lot of you have.  
check out #26 a picture of logging at Kosmos, Wa. The city of Kosmos no longer exists because it's under water at Rife lake. when the water is very low, you can actually walk the streets of Kosmos(concrete is still there,although broken up)

Cool pics.  The mills back then must have looked quite different to take trees that size.

krout81, I love looking at the old photo's. My grandad and his brother logged here in Washington. There are a few trees left (not many)here from that era. Here's a link you may enjoy. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool pictures, great to see them.  Most all of my family back home in MT works with wood one way or another, whether it's in the mill, hauling it to the mill, or cutting it for the mill.  One of my Uncles still got a 3 log load back in the mid 90's, so some of that big timber is still around.  One of the big things thats changed is the ability to get to that big timber.
I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.

It always amazes me to what MEN did without modern tech. The old rail bridges especially. Thanks for sharing...
