When Jim Burns mentioned he had pictures of a "Bone Yard" in the Queen Charlotte Islands , I didn't realize he ment a Grave Yard . Perhaps some of the Souls laid to rest after a tragic mishap
in the Logging Industry in this Grave Yard are watching over the reminiscence of a their era , when Fore and Aft Roads were in use . If you look closely at the moss covered remains , there are remains of a Foe and Aft Road a Turn Table and Solid Rubber Tired Trucks .

Church Creek, on Louise Island in the Queen Charlottes. The site of the old Haida village of New Kloo,the graveyard is from the 1890's I believe. Trucks are from the 20's but used during the WW2 period.

These two pictures were posted on a marine page that I belong to. Although the images appear to be a boiler they are not. They are not related to a de-salinator that converts sea water to fresh water. I've worked on large scotch marine boilers and evaporators so I'd already figured that one out. It was guessed that it was the lost nuke accidentally dropped off our coast in the 60s by an American bomber, it wasn't that either. It was found in 8 meters of water (about 26 feet deep). So if it isn't a bomb and it isn't marine, what is it. The object was determined to be a steel piece of industrial equipment with yellow paint. The yellow paint made me think logging equipment. It measures approximately 5.5 meters in length and 1 meter in height. It was first picked up on a RCN ship sonar, they
then deployed an (ROV) Remote Operated Vehicle from the deck of HMCS Yellowknife. I'm attaching pictures to see if anyone can figure out what it is. The Navy knows what it is but no one has figured it out yet. Any Guesses.

Kennedy Lake Division January 2002. I got the location of this from Steve Wilson and after looking at it I asked Ken Wadden if he wanted to go for a drive one day. I never had the fortune of working with him but that day was like having a walking/talking encyclopedia with me. He told me the sleigh was for a yarder and why, what company had owned it, who operated it and the approximate years it was logging there. We went into the old Toquart iron mine site and a small mill was working there and some of the employees were living in campers away from the mill. We walked around in one spot near a camper and there was a big concrete slab on the ground which I had no idea what it was about. Ken told me it covered a mine shaft that was approximately 1000 feet deep. There was no evidence of ground sloughing and I'm sure there's a lot of water in it but all the same...

I discovered these in August 2004 after Steve Wilson told me about them. I had to look up the valve in an Air Brake Manual, it's a BCP-56, how could I forget that number?
