One facet of our community, is that we are a port for collecting logs, harvested from the general area and then transporting them, by ship, to other parts of the world where raw logs can be processed for all kinds of uses.


The logs are transported by trucks with two sets of wheels; one set on the front end of the logs & one set at the other end. Here is a truck coming in to deliver a load of logs to the log yard, where they will wait for an order to load them on ships.


This amazing machine can snatch an entire load of logs off a truck and then stack them neatly in piles.


Here's another angle of one of the big log movers, with more trucks waiting to be unloaded.


After the logs are removed from the trucks, this gizmo allows the trucker to stack the back set of wheels over the front set, since the logs no longer provide the span between the two sets of wheels.
Wow....impressive operation with some impressive machinery going on there! Great bunch of shots, Jay.
Thanks, Leslie. I love to watch major goings on~
It's exciting isn't it? Watching that harvest come in, get loaded up, and sent off to parts unknown!
Indeed! Makes me want to go onboard & see where it ends up!
