1 I've just winched a log down off the hill to the right. Dad positions the tractor to drag the log down the driveway. Just below this section the driveway is so steep and icy I had to use the winch to pull the truck up the drive.
2 The peavy on the right is used to move the logs into position.
3 First log is ready to go! We are hauling the logs down to the bottom of the drive to be cut up by a man with a portable sawmill so we can use them in various projects.
4 That's my dad, Don Horvath.
5 Here's a shot of Zeus and Athena, sort of.
6 Here thay are playing while we work. They do work sometimes, pulling children in a sled.
7 Shot of the truck in position to pull logs up the hill from the left onto the drive.
8 Dad comes up for another log.
9 And another.
10 Snatchblock in foreground will be used to pull the really big logs up the hill.
11 This large ash log will make nice boards for a stakebed truck for the 1967 WM300. I'm routing the wire rope through the snatchblock...
12 ...and back to the tow hook on the front of the truck.
13 Here's a few shots of clearing logs for a new road to my parent's house on the farm.
