I'm constantly amazed by the idea of these extinct river drives - when logs floated and sluiced down river in the spring. The sheer volume of wood and manpower (and danger) that was created is staggering - even in this industrialized age as shown here. Take it back to the 1800s and it seems otherworldy.

Great Stuff - Hadn't seen this one before. Wish I could have been apart of the log driving days, compliance woulda been a bitch!
