After spending the day with Vertis and Bob I think they are somewhere in 
between. The engine and bed plate were close to the logging road and 'easy 
pickings'. Logging had started in this area in the last few weeks and by 
the tracks down to Spencers engine I believe it had been taken in that time 
frame. Scraper for sure. The engine had been unbolted and a winch cable 
hooked to the far side flywheel and pulled over onto a flatbed - breaking 
the concrete base and bending the studs in the concrete.

Note to Spencer, never try to make a road where you think one should be. 
(-; I've got some good pictures for Portland on this adventure. (-;

And, yes there are a lot more engines in them hills. Just got to keep looking.

Who spent a good day in the hills with his son and a good friend. Doesn't 
get much better than that.
