New member from Port Alberni, thought I would throw some more recent pictures up:

First two are from the north end of the Island, past Holberg and near Cape Scott, taken July 2010. BC Timber Sales:





Moving a bit further south, this was taken on Nootka Island in May 2011, WFP:



Next is the famous H17 south of town, taken May 2014, also WFP:



And a little different, but still with a forestry theme, the No. 11 taken outside the Somass mill this November, a very nice example of what our local heritage society is capable of doing:



Hope you enjoy!

Warm seasons greetings to all heavy equipment forum-ers. And great video there Scott 527, really liked that especially the hoechuckers which is something I'm trying to develop over here. Cheers to all, John.
