A couple of years ago I was on a quick ride with some people of the ATV club and we were heading up the back side of Mount Troubridge with about 30 of us, I was in the middle of the group travelling along this old abandon logging road, going over really old bridges that vehicles can no longer get across, on a now narrow road with not much room for error when suddenly I went by an old winch, it went by my so fast I didn’t get a decent look at it, but I knew it was from a spar tree type vehicle.
Of course I couldn’t stop, or pull over to let others get by me, there was no room, so I had to keep going, and think, I got to get back there someday and look at that, well a year later I hear the ride we are going on with the local ATV club will be going passed it again, you should have seen the smile on my face.
There was not that many people this year and I told the lead guy that I will be stopping at the winches and the rest can keep going and I will catch up, he said oh don’t worry, we are stopping right at them, and up the road we went and there was more there than I thought.
It seems since last year the ATV Club took it upon themselves to clear out the area, it appears that this was a site of a repair for a piece of equipment. I don’t know the age of this equipment but I would guess late 50’s maybe.
Looking around, I was amazed at the condition of this stuff, looks to me like it could still be used, one day Im sure someone else will be able to get into this area and they will take it away, but for now with the old bridges if you tried you will be down in a gully.
