Loggers now a days don’t spend too
much time off the job. which is much
in evidence in the pictures shown here.
These pictures were taken by The Enter
prise phi tographer Friday morning when
he >v s the guest of Hank Heibert. In the
top photo Mr. Heibert can be seen stand
ing beside a huge pile of snow. The snow
on the other side of the pickup is about
10 feet deep. This picturre was taken just
a short distance above where the yarder
and steel tower are being used to snake
logs up out of a steep canyon where not
too many years ago it would have been
much more difficult to log. In the lower
photo Gene Jacobson and Willie Holt are
using wedges to topple one of the giant
trees in this Kinney Creek area.
