Where was that bridge at? It looks like it was good for cleaning off limbs hanging from the load.

I have not seen any of those boys since they left for Franklin. Only bumped into Cookis once 5-6 yrs ago in Nanaimo. Was running a machine in Tahsis.

Pat Mac (Bob MacMillen) BCFP Caycuse Div. Not totally sure about these pictures , looks like M & B logging trucks hauling a special log into the Caycuse Dump ( interesting the 1st pictures is #H06 and 4th picture is #H06 ) . 2nd & 3rd pictures show a young Pat MacMillen watching the log being lifted off logging trucks .scan176.jpgscan177.jpgscan178.jpgscan179.jpg

camptramp Copper Canyon Division M&B. The fir logs were part of the log order for the 1970 EXPO celebration in Osaka Japan. There was quite a number of uniform Fir logs used to showcase the BC Forest industry over there. They did forget to return them after the thing ended.

Pat Mac (Bob MacMillen) BCFP Not sure where these pictures were taken . They could be a log barge loading logs from Millstream Timber at Ucleletscan207.jpgscan208.jpgscan209.jpgscan210.jpgscan211.jpg

Pat Mac (Bob MacMillen) BCFP These are pictures I got off Pat MacMillen taken in the early 1950's in the Port Renfrew area ( Lens Cr. , Red Cr. , and Bear Cr. ) where Bob MacMillen started working as a "Timber Cruiser" before moving to the Forestry Department which was just being developed in the major Forest Companies including BCFP .scan220.jpgscan221.jpgscan222.jpgscan223.jpgscan224.jpg
