The unloading info that has been posted is accurate. The reason logs were stored in a pond was to soak off dirt, small rocks and other debri that had accumulated on the logs on their trip from the stump to the mill as this debri could and did raise havoc with the saws. Today, with fewer mills using pond storage the preferred method of cleaning logs is a water -jet, de-barker just before the bullchain (the moving chain that takes the logs up and into the mill) <br />Roger <br />
