here is a picture of the packwood lumber site before it was shut down and taken apart the jump referred to as the "loading dock" was actually the foundation for the barker and cut-off saw (far right in the picture). the ramp was there so a bobcat could be drove up and shovel off bark that had fell from the structure above (I use to do this job on the weekends during college). the other contrete structures are mostly remains of foundation. this picture was taken before the back lumber yard was paved, some of the wharehouse buildings do not exist, and the kilns not shown. is what is unfortunate, is a much larger area of timbered land behind the mill was owned by the mill and they sold to state DOT and private owners for next to nothing shortly before we started racing on the site. the state DOT and private owners won't let us use that. the area we use now is only a fraction of what use to be owned by the mill.
