Camptramp,how you been? Not heard from you in long time
I'm here hanging out bp , you might be hearing more from me in the New Year . I think I have found some pictures to borrow . Presently I'm working on a polite "Exit Plan" from my part time on call Pebble Hauling Position , down grading to call me last if your desperate , in dire need of a Pebble Hauler Driver . They've been a great crew to work with , but it's time to move on in life .

You're a lot more gracious about it than my hooktender was Wednesday, he just hung his bug on the yarder and walked down the road. That says a lot about his hooking skills.

Hayes No1, where did you come across this old International F210D, Powell River area ?? Looks like one of the three my Dad purchased new in 1964. Would really like to visit it if it still exists.
In Port McNeill industrial area - Twin Peaks Rd.

Thanks Hayes No1, here is a picture of Number 3 in the early 1960s working in Franklin Camp A area. Out of four I-H F210D trucks, 3-1964s and 1-1966, this one stayed in Dad's fleet the longest. Around 74 he sold the truck and it became Tom Young's first truck. Tom traded it in on a new International Paystar late 1975 or early 1976. If it still exists it is the only survivor. Was the picture recent ??1964 International F 210 D trucks (2).jpg

Have another question for you Hayes No1. I went on Google Earth and that whole road is contractor yards and small mills. Can you give me a little more detailed location information. It's a long trip for me (but definitely not the distances you travel) and I want to be sure to locate the truck if I can go. I recently got skunked on a hunt in the Woss area and was thoroughly disappointed so I hope not to repeat that blunder.

I took the picture in August this year. You only have to drive aproximately 200 meters on Twin Peaks Road and you will find the IH on your left side
