Still Image		Log Jam above Falls Maine Folklife Center, Still Image Photograph of big log jam on rocks above falls. Some logs sticking straight up in air. Log jams were one of the primary problems in river driving. Once a jam formed, men would have to "pick the jam" in order to get the logs moving again. Picking the jam involved going out onto the logs in order to move them one by one until the men found and moved the one log that was holding all of the others in place. When this happened the jam would let go. At this moment, with many logs heading downstream at once, any river driver left on the river was in grave danger.
