Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Contributing Editor May Lamar travels to Gore, Georgia to visit Triple J Logging. There are 159 counties in Georgia—second only to Texas among the 50 states—so they tend to run small, which is a good thing if you are Jason Dawson of Triple J Logging in Gore. On a hot, clear August morning with soybeans about ready in the fields of hilly Chattooga County, 37-year-old Dawson is overseeing three company crews, each in a different county. Two additional contract crews also are at work in this rural northwestern section of the state dominated by the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest and not far from the Chickamauga Battlefield (we won that one). It’s not mandatory to have your first name start with the letter “J” around here, but it certainly doesn’t hurt. Jason started the business with his father, James Dawson Jr., and Jason’s brother, Josh, back in 2001.
