Part Two..Lost Treasure Trove of Abandoned Logging Machines

As amazing as this little grotto is, I gotta tell you...it's only about 1/5th of what is on the entire property.

Built to be a hard charging, rip roaring log mover



That was one determined tree...just had to go ...up

You could put a lot of cubes in that box...might run out of brakes if you filled it with rock



Someone was needing to break every window they could find. Probably not breast fed as a child

I wonder when the last time was that someone un-did the rad cap to check the coolant before going to work.

Chapman DrillMobile with the canopy twisted up


Heavy duty mirror supports...

"2607" meant something to someone back when this tough old truck was working

This is not the angle you want to see when the truck is loaded, and doing 40mph...and you are sitting in your pick-up


M-4 rock drill with the boom and mast folded away...Traxxon tank drill behind it



Likely a water tank...maybe fuel

Standing on the cab guard.... looking down

M-4 tank drill and a Traxxon tank drill





Looking out of the "grotto" into the field...another tank drill and a rubber tired loader....what you can't see is dozens more pieces of logging gear


Dedicated to breaking every window...I hope they at least pulled a muscle or something


Kenworth logging truck...for some reason it has a hydraulic winch up on the rack
