Har, spring break up, har, har, dats a good one. Living on a river as a boy, it was always interesting to fish MY stretch of river every new spring and see what winter ice and spring floods had done. One year there would be a log jam so heavy you could not navagate the river but climb on the logs and just drop a line in and around them. The next year every log and tree would be long gone. Forun a toilet seat one time about 16 foot up in a tree hung on a branch after spring high water receded. Maybe I shoulda saved that for finding stuff in da woods. :-/

Some years the river would cut through a camel back and completely change its course. With the high clay river banks it was not uncommon to get a big rain and go back the next day to find a tree that you had used as a hand hold at the top of the river valley, to be now in the middle of the river 75 feet down. The first logging collectable I ever found was when I was 10 on that river after a flood. An old log, with a peavey hook still hooked into it. The log did not have a stamp brand, but it had a piece of iron shaped like a "C" driven into the end. Its now in the Sanford Historical Museum. My Dad said thats where it belonged. :'(

fd, My son said he has seen air saws for under water.
For what it's worth?????? I would be dumb enough to use a two man crosscut. It would take a lot of air--for the two motors , one at each end--You and Ed : :D :D

Fla._,
Are you going to get that log cut-off before somebody turns it into fire wood?
