Being a Grits con-a-sewer I'll have to hunt up that resturaunt.

Seems I remember a thread awhile back that had that picture in it and the story was about hauling a single tree through town with a convoy of trucks.

I can just picture the truck showing up at the mill and the driver getting down and saying , "just cut it up into 1x4's ". :)

That image is widley available as a reprint I believe. Not sure who posted that, but I do know it was at one time on a coke post card. That photo has been cropped i think, but one of the buildings in the background in the full image has a big coke sign on it.

Coka-cola had some pretty good stuff related to the timber industry way back in the day. I have a few things. I;ll try to dig some of them out and scan.  One is a print that I really like. I have two of them. I have actually considered having a contest someday with the one that is in the lesser condition as a prize.

That's COOL Jeff!   8)  I used to collect a ton of Coke stuff growing up, and still have quite a bit.  That's worth looking for--it's always fun to have something to look for at antique shows and stuff.  Thanks for sharing that pic!

I love Coke stuff, and I don't mean today's knock off stuff. ::)
The old stuff just keeps getting more and more expensive to collect though.
My Grandma has a super small Coke bottle, just a couple inches tall from way back.

Can anyone imagine hauling  loads like that on those old underpowered trucks, they look like Macks. And those brakes. Yeeesh.
Several years ago I witnessed some loads on the west coast. Hayes HDX'S with 14' bunks stacked as high as the loader would reach with tree length fir. Water pouring off the brakes on the hills. Nerves of steel.

Geese Tom,

do you have a photo like memory or something like that? I remember that post with Ron's Underwater Logging book, but couldn't place the huge log pic in it??

Did you do a search for that pic? or ya knew where to look?

Jeff

Jeez Jeff!   I was on the way to becoming a Hero! 

Jeff's right.  The trick is finding the picture.  :D

That was mean Jeff!  Kinda like blurting out there is no Santa Claus!  We thought it was magic!   :'(
