At Valsetz Oregon, they logged the land in the 1920's, then they built the log pond. When it filled up a lot of the logs didn't float because when they felled the trees the limbs stuck in the mud. When they closed the mill, and before they drained the pond, A friend got the bid on getting the logs off the bottom of the pond. He got large balloons, fastened one to a log, blew it up with an air compressor. Didn't take much to get them started and they popped right to the surface. First of all there was a lot more down there then he thought and it was better wood than he thought it would be.A lot of it was old growth cedar. He made a lot of money off the job .It took him 3 years to do what he thought would would take 1 year....James
