Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson has the opportunity to visit Scott Lynn Logging in Tellico Plains, Tennessee. When I first called Scott Lynn, who was then working a 20-acre tract on the side of a mountain near Oliver Springs, Tenn., I had no idea what to expect. In the same way, I never know what I am really getting into when I visit most loggers on the Southern Loggin’ Times editorial department’s radar. We can learn the basic details in advance, but every time we show up to a new landing for the first time, we always find something a little different—that little unique something that makes the story for the magazine really pop. For me, when I met Scott Lynn, that something different turned out to be a simple phrase: “I work young ladies,” he told me by phone as we set up the appointment. “And since they do man’s work, I pay them a man’s wage.” It stopped me in my tracks, mainly because he presented it as no big deal. It was just the fact.
