Hines Pines: 1942
July 1942. "Truckload of ponderosa pine, Edward Hines Lumber Co. operations in Malheur National Forest, Grant County, Oregon." Medium-format Kodachrome by Russell Lee for the Office of War Information. View full size.
Pfffft. Big deal.
Pre-Cured
This was flooring a month later. Pines grow relatively fast, so this is still common. But we are in 2018 and still seeing these trucks roll by, but full of ancient Redwoods.
I live on the East Coast, but when traveling in the Upper Northwest this is disheartening to see.
Loose Load
I hope he is stopping to put the wrappers on this load otherwise he will be picking up logs all the way down the mountain.
Kind of ironic I had to "log in" to leave a comment.
