[AT] Strange modification

[charliehill]

Steve I actually know, or at least know of those guys on Swamp Loggers.  The 
guy that runs the outfit is Bobby Goodson Jr.  His father and all of his 
uncles were loggers back in the 70's when I hauled logs for a living.  The 
area where they work is in S/E NC in the swamps of the Cape Fear river and 
it's tributaries.   If you watch the show they sometimes mention Caintuck, 
Ivanhoe and some other small communities.  That is where my grandfather grew 
up.  In fact my grandfather worked as a logger in the very early 1900's.

The pocosins are a little bit higher ground than the swamps you see on Swamp 
loggers.  I don't really know how to explain the difference to you but it is 
somewhat similar.
