Wide World Photos Boston Bureau Logs go down the oldest logging river in the United States. Biddeford, Maine - Riding logs 90 miles down a river requires special footwear very different from the type used on the ballroom floor. Edward Burrill of Limington, Maine, one of the log drivers on the Saco River is here shown wearing his spiked shoes. The sharp spikes hold on the logs as the wearer runs from one log to another as they float down the river. (see main caption)
