Then they acquired a 3 year logging job on the end of the North Fork Road in Snoqualmie, where they moved. The logging business in the Snoqualmie Valley would keep them busy for the next 40 years. During that time Joyce was involved in many clubs and organizations that were part of the growing valley. She was also very involved in the Washington Contract Loggers and Washington Log Truckers Association. Joyce would hold large picnics and parties for them, year after year.
