You might be able to make a living hauling up trees if you can find the
right spot. Some of that lumber is quite valuable.



The two huge lakes created by dams in the Great Depression covered over
huge uncut forests because they filled too quickly to get the timber out.
Today, the stumps of those trees are lurking just under the surface of the
lakes, great for fishing, disasterous for boaters. The valleys are where
you can boat as the trees weren't tall enough to reach the water's surface.

As the lakes filled, an effort was made to cut many forests to create
navigable waterways. These huge logs were simply chained to the bottom and
anchored in the ground. Of course, that was then...this is now and the
chains have all broken loose the waterlogged underwater MOVING logs that
roam the lakes attracted by spinning propellers and underwater propulsion
units as if they were all magnetized.

The lakes are no fun for boating for these reasons. It's a real shame,
too.
