The Last Log Drive: In 1976, a traditional way of life for thousands of Maine woodsmen came to an end with the last log drive down the Kennebec River. It was a dangerous and grueling way to make a living, requiring both strength and agility, not to mention a tolerance for cold water and low wages. | Maine Public

Old Video from the last Log drive on the Kennebec. Did you know that 2% of the wood that was cut and floated downstream sunk to the bottom of the Lakes, Rivers? Here's the kool part...
