The Bucket Trail

There is this quad trail in Powell River BC called The Bucket Loop, within this loop are many side trails and loops, truly though only 2 ways in and out here, but its a full day of riding and really not all that far, about 12km in total, challenging at times, extreme at other times but a pretty interesting place to test your skills.

 I went there last year, and didn’t really get that far, it was on the end of a day and we said , yep lets go back so back we went, although the video shows most of the ride, we also found a few items.

Not far from where we found the cables and buckets we came across this, at one time a set of wheels went along this, down the hill to bring up logs from below, this is the only section still intact.

So we went down a few other trails, all with different names, cutting our way past winter fallen trees, and as I drove by this one section I thought maybe it was an old donkey sled but decided it wasn’t so I continued, and though saw the bolts and had me come back.

Looking it over, it was at least 50 feet long, and at one time it had a small outbuilding on it, so it was not a double ender but it was still a big powerful machine, all that’s left of this bygone era now, is rotting wood and rusting metal.
