Question what is a Barrienger Brake used for?









And the answer, for those of you haven't been to Algonquin Park's logging museum is....




See all the photos from our trip to the Algonquin Park Logging Museum.. the question at the end will be, which picture is of a piece of logging equipment known as an Alligator. No using google..

Interesting ... I love the line "...weighing 20 tons could kill horse and driver ...' wonder how many "tests' it took to figure that out ?

We have to give you the prize for that one usn ret. It is indeed the boat. All we have to give away is bragging rights... so enjoy them, you've earned them.



Another question, does anyone know what this boat is called?

Bob, it's about the boat, try and focus, dude. We'll start a thread later about Tess, once we have a few photos together.

Wiki calls it a pointer boat, a workhorse of the logging industry. It is pointy on both ends, not like those big gray things I used to ride on that were only pointy on one end.......Cliff
