I'm fairly sure that most raw logs here in the PNW (Shipped or Boomed)
are stamped/branded, kind of like cattle, So its a safe bet if you come
across one you'll know it, But if you get to close to a log boom while
underway, and see a Sea Lion or two or twelve smiling at you, then more
than likely you've had it.

I"ve got a friend up on Shaw Island that has a permit to pull logs,makes
a good living at it too.

Also seen it done over in Ocean Shores on a daily basis, Soon as the
tide ebbs, you can count on seeing a rotted out ol chevy 4x4 flatbed
with a winch boom, and chainsaws combing the beach, Don't know if its
for firewood or carvings tho. UD
