Victor Dump at the reins of the horse team and Otto Bergman sitting on lumber from the Fleming Lumber mill. The lumber is on a skid drawn by a horse team.
"The breast strap of the team is threaded through both rings, with the pole strap loop captured between them. This arrangement virtually eliminates the tendency for the end ring sleeve to be pulled off the end of the neckyoke. Simple, but good insurance." -- Stu Dykstra

"In February of 1933 there was no snow at the John Ambos sawmill on the east rim of Rock Creek Canyon and very little anywhere in the McCoy area, for that matter. But a year later, there was plenty of it. The A frame just to the right of the mill shed, supports a heavy aerial cable that Frank Haddon had stretched across the canyon for a log hoisting operation in 1930 which was a dismal failure." -- McCoy Memoirs, p.245
