logging, forestry and milling museums 2019

[doc henderson]

here are a few pics from our Michigan trip at the logging museum up north, and the family accross the bridge in the up.

before the logrite log arch.  maybe they will bring back the wooden wheel



 



 



 

this is a snow roller, and most items had sled skis.  there was also a water wagon to form ice, and then guys with sawdust to slow the sleds if it got too slick.  did not take pics inside but we really enjoyed the items shown.

I always enjoy how simple and ingenious many of the tools and wagons were.  the way the front sled turns the back sled the opposite way to aid in turning.  either with criss-crossed chains or a wooden linkage.
