Log House, SLC, U
The home of the Osmyn brothers and Mary Duel is one of the two remaining log houses from 1847 in Salt Lake City. These buildings were constructed by Mormon pioneers upon arrival in the Salt Lake Valley. This log house was originally part of a fort constructed by the LDS church.
The Duels left Salt Lake City and moved to Centerville and the building was used as a military armory.
The house was purchased by Albert Carrington and he moved it to his property in 1849. Deseret Museum acquired it in 1912 and it was exhibited on Temple Square. The house was moved to its current location in 1985.

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.
As in "Yule log plenty of hours putting up all those Christmas lights."

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
