Backwoods logging operations. Weyerhaeuser Springfield and Klamath Falls; MEDCO, Long-Bell, the Valley & Siletz RR, LP&N longview, Gardiner and Chelatchie; J. Neils @ Klickitat to name just a few I knew about but missed out on and a bunch of un-named operations I didn't even know existed.
Born during the wrong period of time (1943) as I was either too young to appreciate what we were about to lose, getting an education, or raising a family and running a business.
No regrets...lots of fond memories of what I DID get to witness...just wish I had beeen born a bit earlier....maybe not though....might not be posting this now!
