    I spent thousands of hours in that Denharco 3500 getting it dirty on the landing under a few of those 61’s. Nice little trip down memory lane.

    Hoot and Clee couldn't have built those roads without Harvey Miller welding up the AR plate. I sure wish I had that dinner bell that Harvey made from half inch plate. Mike Meske was a great side rod. Kenny...not so much. Chuck Watson and Monroe Sheffield were awesome. I bet Chuck remembers "Cowboy" letting all the bundles float out the bay. And Roper and I standing there at the waters edge as the boom boat drive unit fell off the Hughes 500 hook and sunk, LOL. Shout out to Turbo George Phillips. And eternal gratitude to Wally Ersland for teaching me how to fit in and not get run off. Adrej, I hope you're flying high! Dave, I miss your cooking @ Cube Cove!

      That's funny, we just gave you an entire history and
      We're next door until 2004, Silver Bay has pretty much disappeared but continues as Sampson Tug
      And Barge. The industry has pretty much shrank back to Ketchikan and the biggest problem in the USA is an ignorant public, that's happy, living in thier vehicles and talking on der scammerfones like downtown Tokyo or Europe or something. Apartments seem to be what it will be if mansions survive, low income housing usually turns into Apartments or high rises.

      As FAR AS WE KNOW THE COMPANY WAS OKAY, BUT IT SURE WASN'T JUST ONE GUY, WE worked next door. Whitestone was a combination or many outfits from Oregon and Washington primarily and eventually Tyler Brothers with Survivors from quite a few others ran it, and the mill still runs at Hoonah as Icy Straits Lumber, Alaska Wood Products, Alaska Legacy Log Homes, also.
      The office in Seattle of Silver Bay was unoccupied
      About 2004. As far as we know, Silver Bay survives as SAMPSON TUG AND BARGE.... But we could be wrong.
      .....Don Brown passed away in 2000 or so, made the back page of ALASKA Magazine, Mud Bay Log was changed to: "EROSION CONTROL. "
      DON'T Know how that is now.
      BUT: The Legendary Stretch CHATHAM survives in Ketchikan, the last we knew about 2018, doing fine around town.
      Sadly we have to call the
      ALASKA LOGGERS ASSN. THE Alaska Forest ASSN. But they still fight for us all as time and money allow.
      Simpson Timber had one of the Finest paper mills in the USA , and in 1964, ABANDONED IT , in Everett, AND 600 MEN LOST JOBS AND ALL RETIREMENT.
      The company bought A New mill in CALIFORNIA And Simpson survives today, There are others BUT WE THINK THIS VIDEO HAD TO BE MADE ABOUT 1998 OR maybe 2002, but we doubt that Silver Bay is a Log company other than owning some good assets.
      Certainly WE ALL IN THE FORMER PROSPEROUS
      STILL SUSTAINABLE, TIMBER INDUSTRY Could still be Fun like before. But we will see. Thanks anyways. ❤
