In 2011 WSDOT placed logs along the base of the bluff to protect it from the Nooksack River.

Video: The first log is finally free of its cables and is pulled to the bank. The two crewmen watch from a safe distance, in case the cable snaps.

A gas-powered saw is used to cut the cable from one end of the log. It's heavier than your standard chain saw and this guy is reaching as far out as he safely can to reach the cable, while keeping his footing right along the edge of the powerful river. The water is snow runoff from Mount Baker, and is deep and as cold as a bucket filled with ice water.

Once a log is pulled to shore as part of the 2011 project, the crew can unhook its equipment and start on the next one.

This log, part of the 2011 project, is too far out in the water to be hoisted.
