Snow Creek Logging

Snow Creek loggers climb dangerously high in trees to set cables in them. The cables make it possible to quickly move logs through the air to the loading site, instead of dragging the logs up a slope.

Cooks at Snow Creek serve enormous amounts of food to 60 loggers a day. Accepted wisdom said "loggers work on their stomachs," and loggers did move on to other camps that served better food.

The Snow Creek bunkhouses have no running water, mattresses were stuffed with straw, and rainy weather turned the bunkhouse into a steam bath of drying clothes.
