On June 24, 2022, ten volunteers from American Airlines, in partnership with the National Park Foundation, spent the day trail-building at the beginning of the Carter Falls/Wonderland Trail in Mount Rainier National Park. Their task was to create a path for visitors through river rock to a newly-installed log bridge across the Nisqually River.

A detail of the carpentry used to erect the cabin. Notice the axe marks left on the on the logs in the middle 1800s.
I started to keep a hydroponics log using a gift from my dear Mother-in-law to keep track of important dates such as when I last changed the nutrient solution and when I planted certain seeds. I hope that it will help me learn from my mistakes by seeing exactly what I did every step of the way. And, believe me, I've made plenty of mistakes. I still have a lot to learn.

66849 ploughs on up the grade towards Shap Summit as the driving rain falls in sheets across the fells at Greenholme, with 6Z71 Chirk to Carlisle empty logs working, 25.8.12
I'd arrived here with the intention of taking a shot of the Tesco liner coming up the bank, unfortunately as I arrived, it was thundering under the bridge at Greenholme (with 92030 up front I believe).
Driver dies in logging truck crash
Posted: Jul. 10, 2008
Raleigh, N.C. — A driver died Thursday when his logging truck hit a guardrail on the Interstate 440 Inner Beltline in Raleigh, went down an embankment and crashed into a tree in the woods.
The driver has been identified as Eric Gene Simmons, 54, of 1609 Dogwood Acres Drive in Sanford. The truck he was driving belonged to Elliott Logging Inc., 4385 Center Church Road in Sanford.
The accident occurred just after 10:30 a.m. Traffic was backed up for hours near the South Saunders Street interchange.
The driver's body was pinned inside the truck. Authorities said they were not sure why the logging truck went off the road, but witnesses said they believed the truck struck the guardrail due to a ruptured tire.
After the truck struck the guardrail and exited the road, it overturned onto its left side and continued to travel down the embankment, according to police. A tree struck the truck in the upper-front portion of the cab. Logs separated from the truck’s trailer and one struck a nearby parked 18-wheeler truck. The driver of that truck took shelter between that truck’s cab and trailer. He was not injured.
At 5:30 p.m. crews had cleared debris from the scene.
Its obligatory to take a photo like this when you see a big stack of timber. Seen alongside the Fritham-Frogham track in the southern part of Islands Thorns Inclosure, in the pouring rain.
I went to a nice log cabin potluck the other night. it's amazing a place like this exists so close to town here in SE Michigan. My imagination immediately took me away to northwoods lodges, summer camps, my Alberta cousin's rocky mountain cabin...
I gather it gets a little drafty here however.

Sawing Chestnut logs in the north Georgia mountains near Clayton. Date unknown.
In the 1880’s, railroads began penetrating the North Georgia Mountains making timber easier to access. Large landowners built these railroads. These companies bought much of this mountain land for as little as $1.00 per acre. Their goal was to cut the timber, sell the land, and move on to another location. They logged the land for lumber and for bark of chestnut, chestnut oak and hemlock trees. Tanic acid was extracted from the bark, which was used in tanning leather. This was big industry in those days as almost every household item was leather or involved leather in its use.
Wildfire also took a toll. Sparks from wood burning trains and skidders ignited thousands of acres. Farmers lost control of fires they set to clear land, to rid the woods of insects and snakes and to improve forage for cattle and swine which roamed the woods.
This loss of forest resources was about to change. Congress passed the Weeks Law authorizing land purchases from willing sellers to protect the headwaters of navigable streams and insure a continuous supply of timber.
The Forest Service purchased 31,000 acres in Fannin, Gilmer, Lumpkin and Union Counties from the Gennett family in 1911 for $7.00 per acre. Thus, began the role of stewardship on lands that would become the Chattahoochee National Forest.

A friend who's handy with a chain-saw helped me swipe these beech logs from a pile I know to be home to wild oyster mushrooms. They now sit in the corner of the allotment.
If they don't produce anything this year, I'm going to spore them
Took a long lunch to do a loop I haven't done in a bit. About 20 miles as the crow flies. Short log ride about 1/2 way through. Fun times.
Another shot of the same kitchen. Again a 5 shot blend in Enfuse.
Again searching for interesting, different angles. The logs on the left were that white.
Nik tonal contrast on those white logs to bring them up some, Viveza, RAW sharpner and Define.
And yes the lamp on the right was on, just one dim bulb.
Tell me what you think.

A log arch I designed and built when I had to cut down some oak trees in my yard. Yes, I could wheel around a few thousand pounds of wood with that little dolly but it works better behind a pickup truck.
Not sure why I didn't post this one before. The Serbian Orthodox burn a yule log on Christmas Eve. I'm not exactly sure about the theology behind it but I know the wood is compared to the cross. Everyone takes home a branch and saves it until the following year to burn again on Christmas Eve. I don't know what kind of tree it is but the leaves are very hardy and don't dry out or crumble, even though they are clearly dead and brown.
