Time Travels....Logging in Days Gone By
I was poking around....here and there, and I found a few photos that you night enjoy. Plus..at the end, a great video that documents the history of logging in the Squamish area. It features a ton of film/video of seldom seen operating old time logging equipment True story...this is the hospital that I was born in....Garden Bay BC...back in 19something something. The hospital was built to treat loggers who got hurt in the surrounding mountains and inlets. It was too far, and too much of a wait to go to Vancouver...too many men suffered and died, before they could get treatment. Opened in 1930. 1st Pacific truck...built in Vancouver, and getting shipped to Newfoundland P-16 with a spar One of Doug Sladey's trucks Lake Cowichan log train Harrison Lake steam yarders Campbell River steam donkey Vancouver Island 1987 Truck mounted log boom ...Quesnel 1950 2 man chain saw Nice tires...looks like this might have been a 2 trailer set-...
