A picture of my Grandfather Archie Strachan out at the winter camp where they cut down the trees. This was located close to a train siding, place called Bannock. That would be between
Peesane and Mistatim. He is walking beside a very large sleigh piled with logs, tons of them being pulled by a catterpillar tractor which is headed to the train siding and they would load them onto flat cars. When they had a train full, it would be pulled into the mill at Crooked River and unloaded onto or near the Mill Pond which would be filled with logs before winter was over.
