    Haven't seen anything on the gray box yet, great video, can't imagine how hard and dangerous the river work was.

Yeah right. That's cause it's a grey box, not a gray box.  8)

Terry f if the learning gets too tough up on top you can fit in "down under", where the color gray is the colour grey ???

Gray is English, US.  Grey is England/UK.  I suspect that Jeff posted the "grey".  He must be UK.   ;D

i am much to young to have witnessed a log drive, but have had to opportunity to chat with an older man who witnessed some of the last ones. the video refers to the sounds of the logs in the river as something every new englander is familiar with. that is a noise that i would like to hear.

My grandfather often talked about his many years in logging camps prior to the first world war.  I lived with him while going to college back then and the video bought back so many of those special memories.  I was fascinated as a young man with his logging tales.  He always said that while they worked from daylight to nightfall they ate well.  So "four times daily" makes perfect sense given the way they labored each day.  Thanks for posting the video.
