“I saw it at the logging exhibit out at Point Defiance this weekend. Sorry it's not the best picture; I drove up to take the picture and had planned to get out of the car to do so, but then saw the guy working the place hanging out in front of the office and didn't want to embarrass him by being too obvious about photographing the sign he probably made. So I shot surreptitiously through my windshield.”
