The last truck that Pacific Logging purchased for lowbed use at Mesachie Lake was a P 16 . Must have had engine problems , sometime after Timberwest took over it got parked . The radiator out of it ended up on the #40-90 .Hello Al. I need a little info. The last lowbed truck at Pacific Logging Mesachie Division was blue and white. What make was it. Bp

Sounds great for sure. Today was start of “retired” again. Did 5 weeks of the cans from Bings Creek. Hope to be man of leisure until January. Filling a spot then. Redid my medical today k passed another oneWe are doing find Bp , more retired than unretired this year and I'm getting to like it . Filled in on the Pebble hauler's a few day's and spent a few day's on a "Bin Truck" this year . Was in my Shop the other day watching the Rain coming down , with the wood stove going , cleaning up some car parts . Thinking about the times I was out at a Logging Side on a day like today trying to dry the brakes out on a log loader enough to lift the trailer off a logging truck , then I put another log on the fire . Life's great isn't it . LOL ct
BCFP got two of these boats made around 1983.Boat names were Narrows Mist 1 and Narrows Mist 2. BCFP was slowly closing down the Narrows Inlet camp which was a 10&4 camp . The reason for closing camp was cost. It cost about 30$a day per man to run the camp . The boat cost to run in and out everyday was around 5$ a day per man . The Narrows Mist 1 was the smaller and little faster boat at 40 feet long by 12feet wide. Narrows Mist 2 was 40long by 15 feet wide . Both boats ran 3 Volvo Penta 200s inboard/outboard motors around 600hp combined per boat. They had 3 legs in the water and 6 counter rotating propellers. They would cruise around 30 to 35 plus mph with 30 to 36 men aboard . It was about a 40 min ride each way . Eventually the 10and4 shift was switched to a 5 and 2 shift. Around the late 90s Narrows Inlet was completely closed .Jim Backland , BCFP Narrows Inlet Div.
