Actually, I had something ready to go , but due to some unforeseen  circumstances I had to pull it for a later date.

In a conversation on Sunday about the Purdy Brothers logging episode and the one log load. I happen to witness my Dad’s last one log load. It was a huge sugar pine located near Poison Lake, i.e. Swains Hole. For those who knew my father, lets just say this was a very colorful episode. One party that was not pleased was the Sierra Pacific’s mill in Susanville. They no longer had the sawing capacity to handle such a large log and had to dynamite it in to two pieces.

P.S. – A piece of evidence was found many years later in Dawson Arnold’s basement!
