The days are becoming shorter and cooler as fall sets in on the Kittatinny Mountains . Another few weeks the leaves will changed and fall off the trees. The guys wiill be waking up to frosty mornings. The guys are getting some last running/work done before the winter logging season starts. Best time to log. The guys are waiting for the next log car to load up.
Logs are loaded on the cars a ready for the sawmill
