Post a CommentIt must have been a hard life logging in the old days.
I enjoyed these photos.
Enjoyed it.
Thanks Great pictures
That's quite a display. I can just imagine how the actual slide must have looked.
Very fascinating :) We would enjoy seeing this firsthand - although the slides are nice, too :) cheers!
What a clever system.
So much like Michigan with our logging history and much the same woods. I love hiking in woods like this. So much fun! :)
Great slide show - you guys do some walking when you go to the parks don't ya?
