Guess that one is going into clear cuts being tethered not sure which system but my bet would be a tractionline system with the double cables.

We went all three days. I'm a 3rd generation logger and have been going since before I can remember. It was a very good show.

Apparently I missed it again!  I've wanted to go for several years but always have other things come up.  Not that I would be buying anything, but it would be interesting to see what's out there.  Any self-loading log truck drivers?  I want to collect as many of their names and numbers as I can.

Didn't see a self loader well we were there, but a buddy said he saw a new one down your guys way a while back. PLC is this year as well in September 15-18 down in Corvallis.

Most of us that have that go yes we look at the equipment but it's the best way to keep up on our credits. In 14 I was stuck in class for 12 hours out of the two days I was there.
