Logging sports


Last Friday, the family went to McDonald Forest to witness college logging teams compete in a national championship. We only got to see 2 events: team sawing and individual loggers running an obstacle course pulling a huge chain (these events have technical names that I am not privvy to!) It was fun except that it had been pouring all week and that day was no different. We wished we hadn't missed some of the really great spectator events: a logger trying to balance on a rotating log in the water, the limber pole where a logger tries to run to the end of a pole perched over the lake, and the competition between two loggers trying to race to the top of the tree.
