"Tree climbing, speed cutting and log slicing are timed events. "Well, then, welcome to the great northwest," he began. "I've never been to or seen any of these events, so could you explain them?" "Tree climbing, speed cutting, log slicing and log rolling." I came up to one booth where the lumberjack, who happened to be alone, was sharpening his axe. I stopped at several of the booths and admired the guys. The competitors were visiting with the visitors and discussing the competitions, which included tree climbing, log splitting, timed tree cutting, and log rolling among others. Seeing the muscular competitors in the hotel and around town that afternoon had me horny as hell. I decided to check it out.Ĭhecking my map for the location of the town, I drove to it and managed to find a room, only because of a last minute cancellation. It was being held the next two days in a town nearby. I had several nice 'meals'.Īfter stopping for the night, I headed out the next day and about noon I saw a billboard along the highway announcing the state Lumberjack competition. At one, I stayed a few hours, enjoying the activity through the glory hole in the restroom. I made a couple of photo stops and along the way I checked out a couple of truck stops. I didn't have any particular plans, so I just started driving. I purchased my airline tickets and when my vacation arrive, I flew to Boise, Idaho and rented a car. I decided to fly up, rent a car and enjoy my time. I had been wanting to visit the northwest United States but driving from my home in the southeast would waste to much of my vacation.
