You know, actually I feel one popping around in my head. I know nothing about it of course, but it is about the shingle bolt drivers who drove shingle bolts to Kelso, down the Lewis, Toutle, Kalama..maybe other rivers. I met Barb and Mark at the Kelso museum when I went to Rainycamp and I was just starting to notice some pictures of shingle bolt drivers when they arrived...I believe they are short chunks of cedar and used for shingles...and they really clogged things up in the rivers...not sure if they were the ends or were deliberately cut into the shingle bolts...anyone know?
