Big Heart on top of mountain

They used to use horses or mules to pull the logs up to roads, then load the logs onto trucks, up to the late 60's in these mountains, if the terrain was real steep they would only cut roads up to several thousand feet or more apart. In flatter areas they used to cut roads every hundred feet or less as they clear cut an area, easier to get the trucks loaded.

What is left is old dirt roads that have been tank trapped and slowly growing back, though many have been eroded so bad that there is not much soil left for anything to grow in.
 

Chaining out logs with horses and mules, I can understand. My maternal Grandpaw did that. :thumbsup:
