These yarders were my first real exposure (early 70's) to the processes of rigging systems, etc.
Built by our family friend R.L. House for firewood salvage and thinning at Castle Rock, Washington.
He built a series of progressively larger machines and eventually called them 'Lexington' Yarders.
Bob worked for Weyerhaeuser at Longview and due to an injury he quit building yarders around 1983.
Bob built my brother and I a bicycle pedal-powered miniature Skagit highlead machine in the 1970's.
