Powell River, BC. The Loco in Nanton Lake

This story I heard recently, a friend of mine, Doug McGregor told me a story of when he used to log and boat on Nanton Lake.  As I recall the story and I sure hope Doug will correct me if I am wrong, but Nanton Lake, back in the 1950’s and 1960’s used to be about 8 feet higher, so the lake was larger and deeper. Well Doug used to sometimes take his boat up the river to the left of the boat launch at the campsite and on the trip up, they used to see what they have always thought to be a loco in the riverbed just prior to the old tresle that crossed that river.  So far I have not located the tresle or the loco, but I am certainly searching for it.
