'Alaska Logging II' RainForest Rust

Due to the nature of the machinery in this gallery -and out of respect for the privacy of the owners- no location information will be given.
I took these pictures, and I will continue to take pictures of this old logging machinery every single chance I get- it is one of my favorite pastimes.

With this album I'll try to share the hundreds- even thousands- of trucks and machines left behind when the mighty Alaskan timber industry was taken away.

These pictures are a small, random, sampling of the thousands of machinery pictures I have taken here in Alaska over the last years. I'll keep updating regularly.

I wonder how many of these old veterans survived the 1980 blast of MT. St. Helens only to rust away up there. Sad. Cheers: Bill
