Mineral WA is a timber town like most of the towns hereabouts. There are few families who aren't somehow involved in the logging industry, and others go back a long way in it. The Koutneys are one of the older families in the area, and these tractors belong to them.

Not far from the center of town, Mineral Mini-Storage sits at the top of a small rise. The road is cut approximately ten feet below the parking area, and the tractors overlook the road. I've often driven by, only to say, "Dang, I should have stopped," and today, I finally did just that.
