Logger Ernie Christian and a very big tree
Ernie and Harrison Christian logged together for years until Ernie was tragically killed in the woods. These shots were taken around 1970 in a hill above Morton. The saw in the shot is a Stihl 090.

Top and bottom photos are Ernie; middle two photos are Harrison. Note how Ernie’s sleeves are tightly rolled up and Harrison wearing his unrolled.
I should have noticed the sleves. Thanks! 🙂
Good days then. One day I could be hauling gravel for their roads and landings with Jerry Coburn’s little 5 yard dump truck and the next day be hauling logs from them with a Kiso truck. Still see Harrison when I’m up in the area.
I remember the trucks coming out of there. I probably saw you. 🙂
