Tony Taulbut's dinosaur egg

[edit]

following up on discussions with @Braches: on Talk:Whonnock, material concerning Ruskin I will post here; I went to the Mission Community Museum and Archives to see what they might have on Ruskin; in their street-names directory, re Taulbut Street in Mission, I found this and must wonder where that gravel pit was. Could have to do with excavations for Ruskin Dam, I guess but wondering where else in "Maple Ridge Ruskin" might be a candidate; can't think of anywhere in Upper Ruskin (up 280th/284th).Skookum1 (talk) 12:01, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

pic of Stave Falls Branch loco

[edit]

I'd thought it was an electric railway; maybe that's after the Stave plant opened...not sure where this is, exactly, will look close later, just found it and saved the link....there was a crushed loco up in the bush on the way to the first cove on the east side of Hayward Lake from the dam; kinda large but maybe only a steam donkey but those domes here look familiar; Phil Northrop might know what that one was.[1] "Glimpses of the Past" page.Skookum1 (talk) 05:56, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

re old fishing lodge by the townsite

[edit]

Braches, I'm wondering if you might know the name of it, or its ownership.....Phil Northrop would,and it may be in Charlie Miller's book; it was a business and had ads in city papers; I don't know if it was in any city directories, I haven't browsed those yet to see for it and other businesses like the Ruskin Drive-In Theatre (later in its final years the Fort Ruskin Drive-In Theatre); another part of Ruskin that is part of Mission.Skookum1 (talk) 11:01, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese logging shows

[edit]

re the bit about Japanese farms and the agricultural productivity of the area, the same applies to Japanese logging shows; I think there's something about tthat in Schroeder's book, including names of companies and individuals.Skookum1 (talk) 11:02, 29 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
