donkey3.jpg (31392 bytes) The Steam Donkey Project retrieved a rusty donkey located on a ridge north of Haywire Bay, Powell Lake, preserved it, and relocated the donkey to the Willingdon Beach Trail in Powell River. Here the general public can see this remarkable equipment and imagine how it might operate. 

The exhibit begins with a description of plans and fieldtrips.  Then you may view photos of the steam donkey as it lay on the ridge. Then we show the helicopter liftout, making the skid, moving the skid to 2nd beach, assembly, and opening ceremonies.  Finally, we have many people to thank making this project happen.
