Hello, love this video and wanted to let you know that you , imo captured !!! a little more than you think! , watched your other channel ,the one with only one video in it , I watched that video , over and over , and this is the original! I think. Hope you understand what I am saying , I believe you about what you have seen and herd , any way hope you read this .
When i was a kid, early 80's we used to ride our motorbikes down to the mill, back then we could walk on the remains of massive sawdust piles... next to the mill.
@@mysteriousotways Where do I start! The family has owned a property on Sunnyside since about 1975, we grew up there using it as a weekend holiday destination. I got to know all the local kids our age and we all had Motorbikes and a great interest in exploring the area. We could access Henrys road through Nettle Creek and Nettle track at the back of one friends Farm. Would ride and explore all the logging tracks in the area (illegally lol). The sawdust pile at the Mill was massive, we were warned not to get too close in case it collapsed. Its probably all gone now, that was 40 years ago.. There’s more tracks and logging infrastructure remains off Smyths creek along the ridge too, by you need to get access from private property.
Great walk, seeing the old steam engine is treat, we look for old Logging equipment in and around the BC coast, a treat to find old tech Thanks for posting

The motor will most likely be from a tram tractor. Motor and tank now gone.

Looks to be remnants of a model t ford. The oval plates with inscription would have been the fuel tank ends
