Images of Husky 266, Circa 1981

After finding some old pictures in the Archives and scanning them ,I thought I would post them here. We were all working on a tree spacing crew in 1981, Texada Island I believe and the Husky 266 was the saw that did the talking in those days, although we could take them apart and rebuild them in our sleep.

Tree spacing on Texada Island??? Somehow I think they were a different sort of tree....possibly hemp. Was it harvest season???
