    WA/OR Strike

    I've been watching the online news a lot and there is little about the Weyerhaeuser strike. It's been about a month and little fresh news. For those who have not scene the Longview WA mill and export yard, it is worth a Google Earth visit.

    Vintage Parts

    I ran across an ad for "Cam's Classic Truck Parts." Says they have over 1,000,000 1949-1981 Pete, KW, & IH parts in stock. I know nothing about them other than what was in the ad. You can reach them at 805/438-5005 to see if they have anything that might help.

    Summer Trip

    Just got back from the annual trip from Alaska to WA. There was quite a bit of logging in many places in BC. All for the mills had full log decks. The one that surprised me was along the Cassiar Hwy. There were more trucks running than since the Hwy 37 power project was active. I noticed...

    BC Fires

    I have been following the BC fires and hope for the best for everyone there. Being in Alaska, I have driven through those areas many times in the past 45 years so I have a feeling for how big this is. Be safe and I wish I could send you the rain we have been getting all summer in Juneau. It...

    Old Yukon Wrecker

    Here is an old three-drive axle wrecker I pass in the summers. It is located near Morley Lake, about 25 miles east of Teslin, Yukon Territory. It has not moved in years but I remember when the gas station/garage/lodge was open back in the 80's and it ran then. I believe it is a Reo. The...

    Great Truck Site

    Here is a link to the American Truck Historic Society. They put out an annual catalog of their big yearly meeting. Hundreds of photos of old trucks. They also have a calendar that I have been ordering for the past few years. Nice stuff. http://www.aths.org/wheels-of-time/show-time-archives

    Fancy Hard-Face

    I was in Kake Alaska a few weeks back doing recon for a project. This dozer was parked along the road. I got a big kick out of the hard-face job with the state and national flags. What do you think?

    This is a great shot of a operation where the contractor is thinking to minimize exposed soil using BMP's for the SWPPP.

    Ketchikan, Ak Slide

    A few years back a big slab of rotten granite broke free and closed off the Tongass Hwy. This is the only road at this part of the island. Lucky no one was there when the slide occurred. The entire road was blocked for a while. One house one the ledge above had to be condemned because of...

    Ketchikan Alaska Project

    The Ketchikan, Alaska, 3rd Ave. Extension was completed about 10 years ago. Because the terrain is so narrow and steep, there is only one road through town at some locations which really jammed up traffic when tour ships were in town. The solution was to create a bypass by carving a bench out...

    Mendenhall River Bridge Const

    These photos were taken last fall after an ice dam gave loose on the glacier. New bridges are being built and the structure is the temp work platform. They had to get the clamshell to save the pilings that were taking a beating. (Juneau AK)
