- (L-R) LCol Colin Hodgson, CO CFS Comox, watches as the Comox Base Commander uses a Mac 6 Chainsaw to cut a 2x4 ribbon opening the Brown Bridge. Unknown Captain at right - September 1972.
This bridge was built by the Combat Engineers from Chilliwack and was nenamed the Brown Bridge (vice the Long Bridge) after some military engineer Major. It crossed the Goodspeed River between the "outside world" and the Station. The Brown Bridge sign disappeared during the first snowfall and it was rumored that it was used as a tobaggan, then as fire wood for a party at Elephant Crossing. No one seemed to miss it.

- (L-R) Don MacDonald (who captained the Nimpkish II) and Cecilia Usherwood (my wife) at our camp on the north bank of Fisherman River about 25 meters upstream from the log bridge - July 1972.
We were still working out here and the little table came from Donaldson's farm. All of the buildings there are now gone and the trees are so high the sun rarely shines. This was a miserable camp as it weas always wet.

I think we used half of our gas and oil getting cooking fires going. It wasn't easy trying to feed a bunch of hungry men hot meals twice a day (luncvh was cold).
