Happy Thanksgiving folks, I really appreciate all of you.
We do deep fried reverse doggy style chicken. Everybody in the family likes it better.

From a logging group that I follow.
Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone! Here is the interior of the dining camp car on the logging railroad of the Big Creek Logging Co south of Knappa, OR. The tables are set for the hungry loggers coming back from the woods for dinner. No date on the photo, but clearly during WWI with posters on the wall encouraging the loggers to invest in war bonds (V for Victory).
A good cook can make or break a logging camp, and were among the highest paid employees. Loggers would tolerate lower pay if the food was good, but would quickly leave no matter what the pay was if the cook was bad. The cook often had one or two assistant cooks at larger camps learning the trade, and a number of "flunkies", young men or women that served dishes and cleared tables and cleaned dishes and the dining room. Often the flunkies were the only young single women in the camp, and the cook had his hands full chasing off the loggers so the flunkie could do her job. The cook had unusual sway with the loggers as the prospect of going without breakfast and dinner quickly quashed any romantic thoughts.
Loggers of that era often didn't go home for Thanksgiving if they didn't live nearby, but would take 3-6 weeks off in mid-December through the end of the year which often coincided with the heavy snows or rain of that period. Sometimes heavy snow could keep them out of the woods into February. Some logging camps higher up in the mountains would shut down prior to Thanksgiving and not reopen until March or April.

Separating the men from the boys?
A one day 400 mile road trip driving this will separate the weak from the strong long after the boys have all gone home.

They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars
