 Friday, August 14, 2025: Mark and Paula visited the Forest History Center at Grand Rapids, MN.   Tour guides told stories from the logging days of the early 1900s.  Horses were the "horsepower" to get logs moved in that era.  The horses are friendly and love to be petted.  Loggers used long handles with hooks to roll logs up to log rails near a log sled.  Then the logs were pulled to the top of the pile by horses on the other side.     Not just tour guides, these people are reenactors teaching the history of logging camps.  A bunkhouse where the loggers slept. |
Quote of the day:
I wouldn't want to be a logger back then. Mark |
