Bre-X was a big time scam that fooled a lot of people who were supposedly "smart". The chief geologist conveniently fell out of a helicopter to his death.Have any of you guys heard of Bre-x the gold mining scam. Columbia-Remtec was building big logging trailers for a company in Indonesia. The GM went there to see what was required. While there he heard something about a gold find few knew about. When he came home he told me, the share price was about 2 bucks. I didn't do anything, the share price jumped past 200 bucks even though it was a scam anyone in early got rich. All I got was a story of what could have of been.
Tiny stakes, Columbia's normal looging trailer was a 20 ton, I couldn't guess what that thing hauledPics of log reach I took last summer. I am not sure of make but it might be a Hayes. HDX knows for sure.

It looks like 20 tons or more to me. Those stakes were used in the 50’s - many still used cheese blocks at that time.

I believe those are "carco" stakes, and I think carco also made winches and were the predecessor to paccarIt looks like 20 tons or more to me.

I have heard them called Seattle stakes, just remember my dad telling me "carco" when I was a young lad ! Interestingly, many years back saw them on top of some taller stakes on a gypo off-hiway truck working out of white river weyco
