I'm in Sooke, so not far from Victoria.

We use to have a Link Belt yard crane with a 4-71 I believe ,seen it apart many times ! Fuel mileage wasn't a concern we were building Locomotives, Been to Sooke a couple of times ,to the Pot Holes and around to Port Renfrew ,Beautiful Land would really like to retire there,its got it all. I think about it more and more , especially after getting another winter blast today,1/2 metre drift down the driveway
