Not Your Typical Log Landing

The logging terminology might be foreign for some, since around this territory harks back to a different era. A landing is a site where logs are skidded and then decked before loading on rail cars or trucks. This haphazard log deck was taken at Camp 20 of the Red River Lumber Company, circa 1918. Since I am a logger’s son, Dad would have a fit if he had an encounter scene like this. I like express my gratitude to David Martin, who sent me this photograph along with a get well card. It really brightened my day. It is an example, how the archives keep expanding. I think my volunteer  packers/movers were a bit overwhelmed of a portion of the accumulation.
