Boy did this story take me back!!! Right down to the Folbot (which was what we used on the Bowrons in 1972). I certainly remember the loggers in BC in the 70s but they were doing a number on our forests back then too. There were floating log camps everywhere on the west side of Vancouver Island when we cruised up there in 1979 in our sailboat. And yachties (people living/cruising on sailboats) everywhere. Thanks for posting this Dave. Now I want a Beaver on amphib floats. Again.
