Stillwater Logging Camp

Stillwater was a logging camp, in its heyday was one of the largest settlements north of Vancouver, its only rival was VanAnda which eventually surpassed it.  Logging in the Stillwater area has been going on since 1890, and even to this day Stillwater is a log sort for Olympic Logging, as well as a Hydro Power Plant for Powell River Energy. The pictures you are about to look at are all that remain of the original days of the early 1900’s, its all that remains and in the not to distant future pictures like this is all that will be known. I walked the entire south area, and have yet to venture into the north area, within this area is the very last known building, this building built with beach rock, and cemented is so hard to see you can stand beside it and not even know its there, its location is within 50 ft of the log sort. As well in this area are two rather large metal tanks, unknown use but presumed to be some sort of bouys, there is a video available for the building and the tanks.  Enjoy the pictures and the videos.
