Oregon State Logging Museum!

July 2, 2015

We all headed home to Redding today!  On the way home, we stopped by the Oregon State Logging Museum to check it out.  We found this bear chair that fit us both just perfectly!

We headed inside the museum and found another wooden bear to pose by!

There were a lot of exhibits to explore.  They take you from the beginning of logging in Oregon in the late 1800's all the way to present day.  These log cabins were like ones that people live in hundreds of years ago!

We really wanted to see into them to see what they were like on the inside.  This door was just the right size for me!

A little log chair to sit on outside the front door!

We had fun checking out all the cabins and looking in all the doors and windows that we were able to look in!

It was a pretty warm day out so we thought we would take a break on the log bench in the shade!

The beautiful scenery while we waited!

There was a lot of different machinary to look at and read about.  We asked a lot of questions and were very curious about how it all worked

We worked our way to more and more modern equipment until we reach present day.  We still have a little ways to go before we get to present day.

We thought we would take a break and go look at the river that ran through there.  

Scouty really wanted to get to the river and get a drink.  It was a very pretty stretch of the river. 

The pool at the bottom of the little rifle was a beautiful blue color.  Makayla loved the blue water, because, blue is her favorite color.  She wanted me to try to get a picture of it, but it didn't show up as well in the picture.  

'It was a fun and educational stop on our way home!
