Today we went over to Drummond, a very small town 40 miles to the east of us. Drummond has an interesting history being a company town up until the 1930’s. We stopped at the little museum (very impressive btw) and saw lots of pictures and artifacts from the logging days of the past. Jim posed in this picture to show just how big the slice of wood really is. The tree it came from was one time the tallest white pine in the country...until lightning struck and knocked 40 feet off the top of it.
After the museum we went to a nearby lake so Rudy could take a dip. Next was lunch at the bar some friends own...right in town. I think their place makes a total of three business in Drummond. Not much left from the days of of logging camps and lumber mills. Also not many giant white pines left either. Thank goodness they didn’t cut all of them.
