#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)
