Log Cabins

Took this shot in Longview, WA last year. I was actually back here today, dropping off an empty trailer at Keystone Paper. We haul large rolls of paper to companies that use it to make corrugated cardboard boxes. (8 rolls weight over 40,000 LBS, which is enough to fill our 53' trailers.) When trees are logged, places like this is where they start the process of becoming all the many things we use wood for.

A river otter takes a break from swimming and rests in a hollow log. Seen in Brookgreen Gardens, Murrels Inlet, South Carolina
Back to this place i visited last year; this time i found somebody reading a book in front of the cabin and it really seemed the appropriate thing to do in such a peaceful setting...along with taking pictures! :-))
Thanks for spending some time here.
As seen in Hawk Wood, Epping Forest. I suspect the log has been put there by mountain bikers as a hazard to jump.
The next picture and this picture are eleven years apart. In this version the doors are still in place but were stolen sometime after 2011.
Built sometime around 1900 this log barn was used to shelter the horses that pull the stagecoach from Penticton to Princeton, British Columbia. This was the first stop after the stagecoach left Penticton and the passengers would stay in the hotel across the road. It took four days to travel the 120 km (75 miles) to Princeton. Today, the trip takes about an 1 hour 15 minutes.

The morning of April 15 was a chaotic one for Amtrak's Carolinian and Piedmont trains. The first westbound of the day, Amtrak 73, hit a downed tree on the single track west of Cary, disabling the lead locomotive and forcing them to annul the train. The delays caused by inspection and limping back at restricted speed meant they were stranded for nearly four hours, long enough for the second Piedmont train (75) to get to Cary. Before they could service the platform, 73 had to limp back east to offload their passengers, who would then re-board 75 at Cary. While waiting for the offload to take place, 75 creeps west toward a stop signal at Fetner Junction. One of NCDOT's F59PHs is on the east end of the train.
This is another one that I check periodically when in the area for other reasons. The right side has collapsed considerably since the last visit and the top of the chimney has fallen off.
