Boy I never appreciated how much history is still laying out in the bush! The sad part is the people who remember them 1st hand are getting fewer and fewer.

I have found that one of the best things I like about owning a bit of history is the people who stop in and just want to talk about them. These are older people with great stories and either no one who wants to hear them any more or no one to appreciate them. I always have a pot of coffee or tea on for these guys. If they have really good stories I might even offer a beer or two

Couple year back OMVA magazine had a article about CMPs in various ghost towns in northern ontaro. I ended up working for the Ontario Jr. forest rangers and ended up at one these towns, found the 2 trucks that were mention in the article but also found a complete rear section of a 13 cab artillery tractor. As usual just in a area that you can't get to with out a boat.

Default Land Rovers on Vancouver Island

One of my coworkers likes Land Rovers. He was telling me about an abandoned logging camp on Vancouver Island with Land Rovers - you all know the story and can probably tell it back to me without reading further. His dilemma as how to recover any foundlings and register them, because the reputed owner is still an active logging company.
