For 87 years the Weyerhaeuser Log Train climbed up and down the hills and crossed the rivers and creeks, moving logs, lumber, equipment, and people. But the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980, along with changing needs eventually led to the end of the log train--- It will be 10 years next march since the last train ran on these old rails. I miss seeing the log train.

I have no idea what all these little red berries are, but they are lovely to see in some of the corners of the forest. The birds and the critters don't eat them, so I'm not about to try one.
New information: Susan, a long-time hiker, tells me that these are huckleberries! Not very tasty, but safe. Thanks, Susan!

Tug boats are a vital part of shipping on the Columbia River. The two in this picture are the most common types we see. The Amy Brusco, on the left, pushes barges. The tall tower is so the captain can see over the barges to navigate. The larger Bo Brusco (on the right) is for towing vessels or guiding the larger ships that dock in the ports of Longview, Kalama, or Vancouver/Portland. And yes, that's an Osprey nest atop the pole in the center.
