5th Annual NW Logging
Modelers’ Convention
at Camp Elkanah ~ June 18 - 20, 1999
Camp Elkanah, Oregon ~ a former logging railroad camp
We lived in these skid shacks (left) and camp cars (right)
The camp cars were built in the 30’s on 1899 (this one) flatcars
The “Bethlehem 4” ~ “Engineer Jeff,” Hiromi, “Bindle Jim,” and me,
“Jersey George.” Guess which one of us forgot to pack his bindle...
The food was great (thanks Sonia) and bull sessions abounded in the dining car
Merv working his 1/8th scale donkey ~ what a treat to watch
Merv made sure all willing volunteers were assigned a job
We had wonderful weather for Sunday’s railfan trip
“Engineer Jeff” in the cab of Sumpter Valley Ry #19, a 2-8-2
View from my first cab ride ~ mark that date ~ 6/20/99
That’s all until next year . . . see you in Kelso, Washington HOME pageLINKS page Logging Modelers’ Conventions LINKS
