: ... 1968. Wife Sarah and I moved to a rural part of Fort Bragg, California in 2000 to enjoy our retirement. I am an avid reader of arcane books, have an eclectic collection of nearly 10,000 pieces of music and am a train nut - I love real ones and all types of model ones. I am the Mendocino Coast Model Railroad & Historical Society's historian and with enormous help from my friend Roger Thornburn (the blog's webmaster) have compiled a history of the railroads that operated along the Mendocino Coast - you can find it at Mendorailhistory.com. My torso reveals my other love - food and chocolate. I am blessed with four great kids with whom I have had great adventures. I have, alas, grown old but definitely have not grown up.

The last log flume in operation in the United States – the Broughton Washington KANT (Log )Flume

January 23, 2019 by Tony Phillips

The only flume that operated along the Mendocino Coast wast at Rollerville. There were many flumes in the Sierras and club member Mike Aplet used to work on them. Vids of flumes are as rare as hen’s teeth. But, I have found one – of the last log flume in United States. Another coup!!!!!!
