Not far from the main town is the location of the main logging camp, serving the PV logging operation on the other side of the valley. Seven bunk houses for the loggers, one bunk house for the forman, 2 bunk houses for the cooks and kitchen help and the camp kitchen and dinning hall are nested together. Three more of the loggers cabins are under construction yet, but all the other buildings have arrived at the camp.
The next step is to construct the railroad track bed, then set the ties and lay the rails. This whole area had been clear cut in preparing for the camp, so the next phase is to fill in the basic ground and most of the area tree stumps will have been left in their place, except where the track roadbed required that they be removed. This will require that the loggers camp houses will have to be shored up with stacks of railroad ties to level them all up.
After that work has been done, then a front porch and railing will be installed to connect all the cabins together and provide a walkway to the camp kitchen and the large camp outhouse. A draw bridge affair will be built for access to the other bunk houses on the other side of the tracks. During spring rains, the ground around the camp gets so muddy that it is real hard to walk around other than on the porch walkway.
