Re: Sanger Lumber Company & Converse Basin Exploration

Four roads intersect the location of the hoist on Hoist Ridge. Walking around the area, artifacts kept showing up even though the area is heavily trafficked. Here's the first spike I found minutes after getting out of my truck:


It wouldn't be an incline site without some wire rope:


Nor would it be a logging site without a sardine tin:

I've found that these and tobacco tins are incredibly numerous at all west coast logging sites I've visited...

Buried in the roadway was this threaded rod along with some decaying wood.:


A couple of minutes of digging exposed this much...

Here's the collection of artifacts that my wife and I came up with in about 30 minutes of exploring:


Naomi was quite happy to find her own spike after I found one...
We left all of these artifacts at the base of the Forest Service sign for the road junction.

To be continued...
