| #5. Oxen on skid trail
What does the word "skid" mean? Give some examples of it.
What do you notice about the trail?
In order to get the logs to slide out of the woods, they had to build a skid trail
About every 4 metres there would be what was called a skid log - between these there would be smaller logs that would be covered.. These were also called corduroy trails (see corduroy sample in kit)
