In Ketchikan, there are so many trees, it is expected that logging would be a big industry. What was interesting, however, were the way the loggers lived - the picture below is the remains of a logging community. These homes were built atop, basically, a raft of logs. They would be pulled along the bay to the logging location and then anchored while the work was being done. Once that site was completed, the anchors would be pulled up, and the Loggerville would be moved to the next location. Makes the term 'mobile community' have a whole different meaning.
