Here is the schedule for all the great activities at the Shaver Lake Museum for 2012. Notice that the steam donkey engine will be fired up for a demo 6 different times during the year. I have participated in this event twice and can vouch for the fact that this is really a nostalgia trip back over a hundred years when this kind of steam power was used to drag logs from deep in the forest to a lumber mill or to a staging area when they could be loaded on oxen or mule drawn wagons for transport to the mill.
