The summer I worked here, I heard about the Lumberjack championships in Hayward, WI. I went up with two friends and it was totally enjoyable.
Picture
Log rolling; two get on the log and try to get the other to lose balance and fall off.
Picture
I saw Paul Bunyan and Babe, the Blue Ox, in Wisconsin, but you can also see them in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Lumbering was big in both areas.
Picture
These poles look like the utility poles along a road. It made it easy to find the event area when we parked the car.
Picture
They raced to the top and then use the belt to hit the bell and....
Picture
it is essentially a free fall down the pole landing in the saw dust landing area. They hit it just right and there were no injuries. These were pros!
Picture
There were a variety of chopping events. Wow, I bet he plays softball!
Picture
The size of the wood chunks from the chops was very impressive.
Picture
The lumberjacks started on the ground and would create the notches for the platforms. Then climb up and chop through the top piece. Speed with efficiency! Impressive!
Picture
How well can you hit the target?
Picture
Who can saw through the log the fastest?
Picture
We will use the stop watch to determine the fastest pair.
Picture
A beautiful sunset to complete a very unique day. So glad that I saw this.
