Georgetown Antique Machinery Show
We drove out to Georgetown for the annual Ohio Valley Antique Machinery Show.
The weather was hot; we wore hats and carried water.
The featured tractor was Case.
We strolled through the sites while eating our free ice cream.
The train is always my favorite.
The Waterloo Boy was the precursor of John Deere.
And steam engines, of course.
Steam was running the saw mill.
The noon whistle.
One of the most interesting things we watched was the unloading of the logs
used in the saw mill. We sat in the shade and, along with others there,
were mesmerized by the process.
Lifting two logs off.
These logs were half the length of the truck bed.
There were logs the whole length of the truck bed...
The empty truck with the boom replaced.
Now we know how the logs get to the saw mill.
An adventure, to be sure.
