Ray and Bigmac, you guys have posted some of the most awesome pictures I have ever seen, a few I have seen before but most i never have. This is a part of my family's heritage, my paternal grand-dad was a hand logger in the early 30's north of the Sunshine Coast, SE of the Queen Charlottes on the mainland, and my pop was on the end of a whip-saw before he was in school. I cannot even start to tell you how much I have appreciated both your efforts to dig out and post these most fantastic pictures of logging history. One of my very good mates and me have been sitting here for the last couple of hours in amazement, drinking & drooling, laughing & oooo-awwwin', that so few really know so little about what the 'iron men' went through to carve (literally) out this nick of the woods, thankyou both so very much! Simply frikken' awesome m8's!!!!!
Keep 'em comin' eh! My dad still has some pics of their old float camp in Allison harbor, falling pics etc etc., and he is still sane enough ta dig them out, I am persisting for them and will scan and post them when I can, won't be near as incredible as some of the other archive stuff that you gentlemen have found, not even close. Many kudos!
Serge
