This rusty remnant of our machine past now has an honored resting place at the Stanwood Camano Community Fairgrounds.  According to the display caption, it was assembled in 1919 for the Washington State Bridge Building Union and had a role in building bridges in Western Washington.  In 1930 it was sold to Walt Garrison of Camano Island and used to log the entire south end of Camano Island.  Please see the write up below written by the fairgrounds volunteers who set up the truck for visitors.  Our Thanks to them for preserving this piece of our history!
