Description
Photograph of Plumas county Grizzly Creek Saw Mill Camp in the Winter of 1927. Donor/Source: Ron Hanford (owned by Glenn Way) GMW 1500633. Audio #13B-459. Plumas County Grizzly Creek Saw Mill Camp, Winter of 1927- Mill was closed account of heavy snow. This is a photograph of Lord and Bishop's Camp at the Grizzly Forebay job site. The kitchen- commissary building was expanded as the camp grew. Eisenhower Nichols were the contractors for this end of the tunnel over to the surge chamber at portal camp, so that was 18 men, or two shifts ( 9 man crews). Mr. Lord lived with his wife, soon, and daughter-in-law in the houses at the top of the hill. The buildings were heated with both wood and electricity. The wood for these buildings came by way of narrowguage from Camp 2, or up the skip from Storrie. Later an electric sawmill was set up and lumber was milled on site. The only way to get to Camp 5 was by the road from Portal Camp, which in turn could only be arrived at by coming up the hill in the skip or coming iver from Bucks Meadow on the narrowguage. Later a road from Camp 9 was built, and has been maintained to this day.
