I never plowed with a team but did just about everything else. What I remember best is skidding logs from the bush to the landing by the sawmill. Chub, a 15 year old gelding, was best at this. He pretty much did it all by himself except the hitching and unhitching. We would hitch him up to a log and just say OK and off he would go to the mill. If he got the log hung up on a stump or tree, he would look back, figure out which way to get unsnagged, and pull sideways until he was clear. When he got to the log deck, he would stand and wait until someone came and took the chain off the log. Then he woudl head back by himself to where we were falling. He would refuse to move at coffee breaks and lunch time until he got his nose bag of oats. A slower age and gentler time. I miss it. Karl
