Here is a picture of the floating wannigan where the cook fed the guys who facilitated the logs going downstream.

This is the kitchen and dining hall at the lumber camp. 75 men ate here. There was no milk or cheese or eggs. Pancakes were made from sourdough. All the meat was salted or smoked. They ate a lot of root vegetables, prunes and dried apples.

This is the root storage building. We were allowed in. The door was very short so we had to duck. The walls are double thick and insulated and the floor was sand. Inside it smelled just like my grandmother's cellar in her brick house.

This is the horse that works at the center. Here the horse is getting hooked up to pull a log onto the logging cart.
