McLean Mill adds spar tree

Monday, April 6, 2009

The Industrial Heritage Society (IHS) has taken one more step towards creating a working high-lead logging system.

On Friday at McLean Mill, climber Aaron Thom topped a straight Douglas fir tree at 75 feet, then rigged up a pass-line to begin hauling up all the heavy rigging equipment.

Powered by the newly-rebuilt steam donkey, the spar tree will be block-rigged with cables and pulleys to haul freshly cut logs to the mill.
