I’ve always been interested in the west coast of your beautiful how many states are classed as PNW

I think officially oregon, washington and idaho are considered pnw

I’ve always been told the Doug Fir belt is the PNW, BC to Northern Cali.

Have to change your name to Funky Wrenchman

You don't even want to know what happened this evening. So that log truck, the spindle on the drop axle is shot, I told the driver it needs to go to the shop. So got axle chained up, unloaded the logs and guess what, the driver forgot to latch his compensator so several miles down the road his trailer took off its own direction on hwy 2 going 60 mph! It hit the ditch with the brakes locked up, so I had to go help him fix his air lines, and slide the now bent compensator back into the reach. Scary day for sure, but all is well now.

Yep Oregon requires 4 and Washington is 3 per load so on a turkey rack it’s 6.

Are you guys required to tie the trailers down when they bunked up?

View attachment 276424 Drive-by picture of Rock Creek Caves near Camas Valley today on the way home.

Clearcut,
Are those caves up one of the upper or lower Rock creek mainlines? I would be interested in checking them out for something to do with the family.
Thanks Ryan.

Chase covered it well. I live right next to it, and have driven by a bunch, but have never been down to them. I need to do it one of these days.

Chase,
Very cool. I used to hunt that back in high school from the bottom up to the signal tree mainline and then hunt my way back to Weaver ridge and drop into fairview, you can drive for hours and be lucky to see another vehicle most of the time.
I will put this on my list for things to do in the next few months, my dad isnt getting any younger and he can still get around, he would love it.

That is the same exact area where I grew up bow hunting. Its definitely my favorite place to spend time in the fall calling in bugling bulls.
Definitely a place you wood never regret going to. I think it is around the 10 mile marker up signal tree
