…and lastly the “Google” search for horse logging in case you haven’t been there..

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=horse+logging&start=0&sa=N

Those are just a very few from my list. I’ll include more if you folks want them. The WWW is an incredible resource that brings those of us immersed in this pursuit closer together.

Look forward to the “gems” that you folks have stashed away on your ‘puter.

This site isn’t maintained but it has great historical information on NH Logging, and great old pictures of early logging with animals in NH.

John,

I visited your site and enjoyed it. Thanks for what you are doing up there and keep up the good work.

We would like to post a reciprocal link to your site on our site – because I don’t believe we can have to many folks willing to offer private instruction in the skills of doing this work safely and efficiently. I would be glad to post a comment on your site giving a recommendation from HHFF that anyone interested in your area (or anywhere) take advantage of your experience, knowledge and willingness to teach. I wasn’t able to get on the site to do that but let me know how we may support your efforts in any way.

Salute,

[john plowden]

Thank you Jason – I’m working on things a bit tonight and should have more figured out by morning – I’ll try to call you –
John
