This is a picture of a toy yarder, which I wanted to so badly have, when I was a mere lad. I wanted to have my own high lead show in the backyard.
Some background on this photo, it was originally taken in the early 70’s during a safety training session in Shelton, Wa at Simpson Timber Co.. It was published in a company- wide magazine. It’s part of the Simpson Archives.
Later on, the photo was cropped and used in a 1986 book titled, Grisdale, last of the Logging Camps. Published by the Mason County Historical Society.
I was also a peaved about it because when it was cropped, my Father got removed from the picture. You can still see stagged pants and Wesco boots on the far left. Lol.
