Logging Camp

John and I loaded the dishwasher and then took a shower and got to bed. It didn't seem long and the dammed alarm was going off.

We both hit the toilet for a good pee and then shower and dress in our normal gear and head for the Cookhouse for breakfast we enter there is a lot of friendly banter going on; hi John where is the DR should be hear shortly was my answer. I spot Greg sitting at the back on his own so we join him. Good morning Greg how are things well I hate to admit it I think I have a bit of a hang over, well just hang on a moment I will get some cure for you. I go to Kia and ask you got the Aspirin bottle there sure thing I'll return it shortly, I laugh and say our lawyer is hung over -- that made Kia smile.

Here Greg take a couple of these that should help -- oh thanks. Then he says you know yesterday was quiet an experience as it was the first time no was bitching etc it makes everything so much easier; I just wonder what sort of age those brothers are. Well my guess in the late 60s. We don't know but they appear to be twins in the way they look and especially the facial features.

Each of them looks after one camp and at weekend they go over on Friday evening and spend the weekend together; basically they seem to share everything.

Next to arrive is Lyle & Keith good morning how are things really good thanks and you know it is a big relief to know our old operation will continue. We both realize that the name "Crew Logging" will retire with us departing, which is the only thing that makes us sad; but it is good to know our logging family will still all be together

John says it is a pity Brent is not here, but I will tell you it our plan to call the respective camps by a new name and simply "Lyle's Camp" and "Keith's Camp" we hope you don't object. They were both very quiet and we could see tears coming to there eyes. They stand up and hug each other John & Joe please join us and I we both get very tight hugs and they say we never ever thought something like this would happen, thank you so much. Well I guess we should be on our way. Joe says Lyle I will escort up to the turn off, does your ATV need any fuel, and no thanks it is good for about 50 miles.

While you're getting your gear together I will get my riding gear on and meet you at the guest house. Well Keith got his stuff into his truck and they both hug each other, and he called out Joe come here please and received the same thing with a little discrete kiss.

Lyle we will talk this evening sure thing brother, Lyle said he was ready DR1 to dispatch any traffic on the main line nothing at the moment. OK once I get to the start I will check again as I have Lyle John's on his ATV and there is no safe passing room and we shall be going up to the emergency road -- thanks Joe

DR1 to dispatch I'm about to enter the mainline is it clear -- out Dispatch to DR1 it is clear and I will hold any downward trucks until you are clear -- out.

About 10 minutes later DR1 to dispatch we are all clear thanks -- out Dispatch to DR1 message understood -- out

We enter the emergency road and I stopped, do you have time to come back to camp, I said I have a meeting at 10:00am so long as I leave by 9:15 am it will be fine, This time I follow Lyle right up to his office come on in and I will get that list you asked for and show you the community hall. I check over the DVD player and see they have a really large screen. I'm thinking I have a lot of work to do getting a suitable video put together.

We return to the office and his lady time keeper has got the list together and she hands it to Joe. Oh by the way Audrey Joe will be hear next week from Tuesday and most likely stay three nights and he wants to be in the section where the young guys live; we are borrowing Joe him from "Woodsman Logging" and is going to meet with all the young guys and there dads with the idea of improving there school marks. I have asked him to see if he can do anything as he has had success with all their camps. Would you please let Cook know about the extra room etc.

Suddenly my radio goes on Channel 5 -- DR1 where are you --out DR1 to Brent I'm with Lyle and departing back to river camp in a few minutes -- out.

Brent to DR1 - see you in the office when you get back drive safely - out

That's interesting our radio signal reaches this far that is good, well Lyle I must get going -- he says thanks mate you're a real good shit.

I head back on the emergency road, once I reach the main line I call in DR1 to dispatch -- hi Joe any traffic on the main line. I'm on my own so just let any one coming towards me not to worry I will call in every mile -- sure thing Joe -- dispatch out.

DR1 to dispatch now clear and passing though camp 2 heading for camp 1.

Dispatch to DR1 there should be no traffic on the road -- out DR1 heading though camp 1 for River camp --out

Dispatch to DR1 safe trip -- thanks switching to channel 1 -- out

DR1 to River Camp Dispatch go a head Joe I'm entering the link road from Hillside any traffic not today it should be all clear right through to camp, what time do you make it please 9:45 am thank -- out

Well I hit the office at 10:0am and went to my office and started taking my riding gear off John come in don't worry about stripping off. I go over to John's office Brent's first words were I want to do some more riding before I return to-morrow but first I want to here your ideas for an expanded or replacement guest house.

So after telling Brent our thoughts, he said he like the idea of converting the guest house into a staff house and the idea of having guest room there for a couple.

Now the idea of building a new place where your home is makes sense as it faces the right way for the evenings. However I don't like the idea of your home losing both the view and evening sunshine from this location. Moving the house is fine but give it to Bob. I think you should be in the upstairs have two complete apartments one for you and Joe and the other one for myself when in camp, they should be closed off from the rest by a suitable hallway door. The guest bedrooms could be long and narrow so when you enter your bathroom one side and a tea & coffee bar on the other side with a mini frig below then open out to the sleeping area and arm chair for TV later sliding patio door on to a common balcony running the entire length. In the case of yours I would have a screen fence to block vision. Now your two units could be out over to make a common garage below with a stair case directly to your section.

Brent say so what do you think guys, sound very good but do not forget a laundry for personal items and it should be on the ground floor with choice of the cloth line or a dryer are very good point, I take this all to my architect in town and see what he can come up with.

So let's all get lunch and then we go riding please -- sure thing. We have a good lunch Kia had made a really great soup today; I asked him what was in the soup he simply said left over and stock well it sure went down well.

I`m thinking I want dad out on this trip so I call Sam l DR1 to DR2 -- hi Joe are you riding today, no why. Can we borrow your body armor and helmet etc -- no problems Joe it is all hanging up in the shed help yourself to any thing you need. Thanks Sam -- Out.

John you got a minute please, what is up, go to Sam's place and in the shed in the back yard get geared up and come with us please. John's face was priceless

Sure will even if it is tight so where do you plan on going Br 80, I don't know if it --is clear for the part we are going to use is but there is a nice mud hole which you can go through if you stop and think.

Brent are you ready now I will do any commutations with dispatch, for your information do you see this button right here, well you press to talk make sure you are on channel two please.

Everyone ready then start your engines and follow me, DR1 to dispatch -- go ahead Joe -- I'm taking two others with me on the bike to Br 80 for training -- out

Dispatch to DR1 -- you got that new recruit with you ha ha -- yes and I will be switching to Channel2 -- out

I unlock the gate so everyone can come through and then relock it, I then lead the way the same as I have done with other trainees. I got them stopped before the bend and went ahead, once I was in place I called for the first rider that turned out to be Brent he came around the bend and not fast which was good. He stops as he reaches the mud hole, looks things over and then proceeds slowly keeping to the bank side; he makes it though with one wet boot, I wait for him to meet where I'm standing. Next please, John comes a little to fast and almost drowns his engine however he goes right through the middle creating quite a wave.

So Brent any problems and why did you choose that route, he smiles and said I followed your wet trail it was still showing.

John you were far to fast for safety always slow down and check out first please. Ok lets carry on be aware there are rocks on the road so keep your speed right down. Eventually we reach Valley Main.

I call in and advise traffic control DR1 to traffic control -- go ahead Joe we are clear of Br 80 and on Valley Main I will switch to Channel #1 going up to the log loading area and the will be on the link road to Hillside -- out

We stop at the log loading area and they all give Brent a bad time, but then they say you look good mate and at least everyone can see you -- happy riding. We depart for the link road but before that I got them both on Channel #1.

DR1 to Traffic control we are entering the link road and will be switching to channel 6 DR1 to Hillside Traffic -- hi Joe -- Any traffic on the link road, nothing at all -- good I'm taking to other riders with me through Camp #2 -- it should be clear all the way thanks -- out.

As we arrive in Camp #1 - DR1 to Hillside traffic now passing through Camp number 1 -- out -- message received.

DR1 to Hillside traffic now at Camp #2 and stopping at the office -- out -- message received.

Jack was in the office and he heard more than one bike a came out to see how it was he said hang on guys stay on your bikes please -- Jack quickly gets his cameras and takes a few shots. Then he says come on in guys and once in the office he says well I be dammed when did you learn ride Brent. Last Sunday I'm the trainee and Joe is the Boss! Jack is having a real good laugh at Brent's expense.

So Joe how is your trainee doing and how did this all come about, well John and I sort of got Brent cornered by saying you should not ask someone to do a job without being able to do it himself.

Then John said about a week ago Joe had been to town on the bike and when he got back he was looking his normal self right dusty and not to clean when Brent walked into his office and said I want a photo of you as you are so Joe obliged, well the other day Brent looked even more dirty and I took photos.

I know one thing Joe's rouge gallery of Dispatch Rider is going to grow in size now -- now everyone is laughing. So how come you came to my camp, well two things one to give Brent more practice and two to discuss with you an idea to eliminate the name Hillside, now we can name each camp with there own name and for your ears only as Brent closes Jacks office door he says we are buying up "Crew Logging" and have decided to call there two camp as follows "Lyle's Camp" & "Keith's Camp".

Both Keith & Lyle are aware of the naming and in fact brought tears to there eye's they really are a great pair.

Now one thought we had was run a lottery for renaming and the most appropriate name chosen be given two nights at our usual Motel in town, the idea is to run this for all members and families living camp. How many spare bunkhouse room do you have as I would like to have a supers meeting using the community hall so Jack your thoughts please.

I like the idea of the lottery as it involves everyone I certain will go for that

Joe ask is that all Brent as I think we need to move on and this time we are going by the various main lines back to river camp.

DR1 to hillside traffic -- hi Joe we are leaving hillside but travelling the long way around via the logging highway to river camp -- thanks Joe -- out.

Well about 45 minutes later we pulled in to river camp fuel up the bikes and put them away and then headed for the office, suddenly we hear a round of applause I turn around and see a bunch of the crew watching us I wave at them and put my thumb up.

We get into the office and check to see if there are any messages -- none that's good. Ok let's grab a towel and a clean pair of pants and use the bunkhouse shower and everything can go into one of those laundry machines. Plus I think we all need our backs scrubbed and I also need a good shave all over.

Joe and I are first in the shower block and Joe gets his razor and clipper out and gets me fully cleaned up, we then reverse and I start at the bottom and give Joe a tight shave around the Cock & Balls and his backside. I then start on his head, yes it sure needed doing as it had quiet a growth there, so the clippers first and then the cut throat and I finally finished. OK mate lets shower while there getting my back scrubbed a couple of the truck drivers come in, they look really sweaty and grubby.

Hi Joe pretty nice hair cut you got time there mate, I said yes and it was long over due that was John's work. Hey John are you willing to do me please, sure thing Tommy how far do you want to go -- the whole way if you are willing, well it's family we help each other -- good on you mate. OK come over to the bench and which end do you wish me to start. bottom end well I soon get the arse hole cleaned up, OK turn over please, I get my clipper out and the vibrations soon cause a growing erection making it easy to clean up. That was done now the head, I give Tommy the tightest shave I can do, once finished I said go and checkout in the mirror; you left the eye brows, get rid of them please no problem -- well they were soon taken right off, what a difference that makes to ones appearance.

Tell me something who is the guy that Joe has been teaching to ride, I said you won't believe me but it is the Company CEO Brent -- well I be dammed, at least he does not appear to be a stuffed shirt. I said no and he started at the bottom as a choker man. However when he is in the office in town he does wear nice looking dress pants and always an open neck shirt and is clean shaven. However several weeks ago he said he felt far more relaxed to get back in jeans and some good boots.

Well I must leave you as Brent comes in and strips off and puts his gear into the washing machine and gets it going. Then heads for the shower, Tommy calls out want you back scrubbed gee that would be nice thanks my pleasure mate.

Well Brent gets real good scrubbing and he also does Tommy's back by this time Brent hears the washing machine completing its cycle and puts everything into the dryer. John and Joe are dressed in light weight pants and tee shirts. They are sitting outside having Rum & Ginger talking about the afternoon's events and what sort of bike should he buy for himself.

The basic thoughts are high ground clearance, engine around 250cc the ability to have suitable box fitted for carrying items and to be lockable, fuel tank to be largest available must be street fitted. Make no decision it really depends and what is available. For gear two sets of Hi-Vis overalls, one set of Hi-Vis raingear, helmet, gloves, goggles or visor riding boots the body armor and include elbow pads. Well that should do for a start, so I have this all down on paper and will check the internet and look at our local suppliers also need who the other bikes were purchased from.

Joe it's time for supper I'm surprised Brent hasn't shown up, John says I will give him a call I use his cell phone number, hey Brent we are just heading for supper are you joining us, I'm already there ok see you shortly. We see Brent with a bunch of the crew, we get our grub Tea bone steak with fried mushrooms and onions and some mashed potatoes. The crew calls out lots of room here for you guys please join us -- on our way.

We hear you were with the Boss out there Joe, you have done a great job Joe with all the young folk here and from what we here the same applies at the other camps I get many slaps on the back from the crew.

So what were you doing with that crusty old logger that runs the adjacent camp?

Brent ears pickup and is listening to see how Joe answers that one.

Well guys you may think he is a crusty old logger. -- let me tell you he may be getting on in years but he is a perfect gentlemen and both he and his brother want to hire my services to work on there young guys relating to the poor school marks and in fact I will be away for roughly three day starting at Lyle's camp after which I will be going to Lyle's brother camp and try and do the same thing.

Well that is not the impression we all got about three years ago. I said I think there may have been good reason for that attitude them but can assure the truth is the totally the reverse.

We have a great supper and decide to have some desert to finish off well good night guys have a great evening we are going home to watch some TV.

We have only been home about 15 minutes when Brent shows up, and say congratulations Joe on how you answered that question thrown at you, very diplomatic but also truthful. The reason I was late getting to the showers was I got a conference call from Lyle and Keith. They are going to have there annual BBG the weekend after next and at that time will announce the fact that they are retiring and have invited all of us to be there, it will be Saturday week. Just bring your swag and personal gear; I gather every one will crash in the community hall however I believe we will be sleeping on Lyle's back porch which is covered.

We are to be introduced to all there crew so expect questions, I will get something together on paper. The week before I'm meeting with both Keith and Lyle the following day when between us interview the proposed supers for each camp and at the same time discuss their replacement to see if they approve.

These announcements will come at the same time as the retirement is announced.

Brent then says when are we going to get time to buy a suitable bike, I said it's a real bugger when you want to achieve something personal.

Joe went to Lyle's camp as arranged and meet with all the young guys and there dads and explain how he the found the answer as his marks were lousy. Now do any of you guys have a dirt bike no because our dads say unless we don't get our marks up no bike and it's a real bugger.

I got over the problem after working the school holidays when I had to get up at 5:30 am then go for breakfast buy the time the school holidays finished I still got up the same time and instead of work in the shop it was work on the books and generally I was able to complete by around 1:00pm so the afternoon was mine.

Now I must admit I have an advantage over the way you get your papers to the distant learning I used the internet so my papers went electronically and I had them back the following day, for you guys it takes time to get your answers.

However I suggest you send your papers in daily and not weekly as I understand this what you do at present. Now going back to the change in getting up, by having breakfast with your Dad makes it more a family event so Dad's your thoughts?

One of the Dads says I have a job at times getting him out of bed, I said nothing like stripping off his bed clothes and a cold wet towel slapped on him into the showers and breakfast, tell him you get your marks well above 80% and you will consider buying him a suitable dirt bike?

Now marks do not improve over night but look at things each month, all I can tell you is it has worked though all Woodsman Logging camps and in fact we are have those that have completed a graduation function at one of the camps and it is suggested the grads will all go out on a campout in the bush and no doubt there will be some sore heads the next morning but that is OK.

So guys give this some very serious thought and remember you get up early and go to bed when your Dad goes to bed because your mates will be doing the same thing please give a try.

Any questions, Joe did you really do this yourself? Yes I certainly did, I moved to camp as Mum and Dad went there own separate ways and came to camp when I was 13 yrs old. Previously to that I was at the regular school in town living with my mother, things went bad one weekend when she was away and I got beat up badly, luckily for me it was the same weekend my Dad was coming into town and when meet up he wanted to know what the other person looked like. When I told him what happened he took over and dealt the situation. My Mother was horrified at what had happened and it was agreed that I would move to camp. It was a totally different life and to-day I would never want to live in town again I frankly love the bush life with it's peacefully surrounding and then at night to see the stars shining so brightly. Now I have a short video to show you, would someone turn the lights out please. After it has gone through lights please; now that is a series of personal video's done by those that are graduating next month I hope you found it interesting.

Any questions and I try to answer, who was your first person you suggested this too that is easy it was Sam could we meet him and here his version, that should be no problem and incidentally Sam was the one that help me get introduced to camp life and for that I'm very gratefully. Lets see if I can get him to come over I get my radio out and call DR1 to super after a few moments Bob replies Hi Joe how can I help, Bob what schedule is Sam on, he is off the next two days why. Please make contact with him and get him to come to Crew Logging by going right through hillside#2 and then exit onto the main line turn right and enter Crew Logging on Br 2 please let John know what is going on. Let me know tonight re Sam thanks Bob -- out

There was lots of discussion going on between the guys and there Dad's, during this time my radio went off AS to DR1 -- hi Bob -- Sam says great what time, lets make it 10:00 am and check with him re his radio channels he has as he needs Channel #6 to go thought Hillside if not hopefully you have one that you can loan out -- thanks Bob -- Out

The following day Sam arrived riding of course his bike attracted a lots of attention and also the gear he is wearing, Sam really played the part well so guys it appears you have meet Sam he was the guy that help me when I arrived in camp and is a dammed good mate as well.

Sam we would like you please explain how you were doing with school work, well Sam does a good job and he said we got others to try it out and the others good the same results. The other thing was a number of us had both Mum and Dad in camp and in my case Mum did housekeeping of one of the bunkhouses and the end result also improved family relations by becoming more of a family by eating all together. Any questions no one came forward with anything but I could see they were taking between themselves.

Joe said I have another video that involves both of us; I had been asked by my old school principle to give a speech on how my life had changed with moving to camp. I was not too keen about this but my dad sort of said go for it well a video was made and both Sam & I broke tradition for graduation and you will see this in the video.

That video was well received and then I said there a couple of guys in our own company that graduate also this year and that is going to be held in the community hall at Hillside, there will be no dressing up and it also means the parents can attend with ease.

Sam I guess you want to get out of your riding gear come on to my room and get changed. Once in the room and the door was shut we hugged and kissed each other and I complimented him on how he presented the facts. To night we must get well bonded as it has been a long time, too long says Sam.

Sam has got his regular jeans on and a ventilated Hi-Vis shirt grabs his hard hat and we make our way back to there community hall, the young guys are still there talking between each other. Sam goes to one group and I go to the other group; I ask what's the discussion, well one of them says I don't see how getting up that early is going to help, I said I would not have believed it either as the first few months from regular school to living in camp my marks actually dropped and it was only after working in the shop during the school holidays I never reverted back to getting up later and suddenly within three months my marks were coming up and by six months I was ahead to what I was getting in regular school.

Sam who had helped me get used to camp life also tried it out and found he was also doing better then at supper with his folks he told his parents that Peter his younger brother would also be getting up earlier whether he like it or not. His brother pulled a long face I don't how that is going to do anything however within 3 months he was ahead of Sam; and Sam's marks that were almost at 80%.

Then one day the company CEO asked to talk with me and he told me that River Camp school marks were the best of all the camps, it turns out he is on the board of the distant learning and he had found out that it started with my marks going up and wanted to know what I had done. When I explained he laughed and said something so simple it is amazing. Now let's try and prove this out how about going to one of the other camps and we will get the young guys all together with there Dads so we can test this out.

Well I got taken over by my Dad he returned home and I stayed in the bunkhouse with the young guys for a couple of nights, then I was in the showers shaving and I get a smack on my backside, I said thanks mate that was nice. The guy that did it thought I was someone else; I looked at the guy and said I think you might be Jeremy yes I'm well I'm Joe so how goes it oh so so, well doesn't sound to good what up my dammed school work I have lots of problems just don't seem to be able to concentrate as I need to and my marks are lousy.

Are you the guy that's come from river camp to try and help us out, yes I am and we will meet all of you later and I hope your Dads are all there because I need there support also. Anyway this idea went through all the camps at that time there was only four camps, they are know as Mountain, Eastern, Gully and River Camp. The end result has caused the distant learning wanting to know what we did. So guys it is up to you and for all it helps to make it a family breakfast and if you are living at home no doubt your Mum is working so she only has one breakfast to deal with, and if its only your Dad it is still a family breakfast. Please remember we are all family what ever company your folk work for.

That evening we all meet and so it went on in the same way as it has been here.

Either Sam or I will answer any questions you may have either privately or as a group. For the present we are going for a walk before supper so I expect we will see you all there.

I said Sam have you been to the cook to let him know and find out which room, no I have not best do it right now and we can grab a mug of tea. While getting the tea Cook asks are you Sam he says yes, I have been expecting you here is your room key it is next to Joe's thanks so much you are very welcome so what is your name he say Kuone ( then he laughs it means good boy) Thanks Kuone.

Sam moves his gear into his own room and then we take a short walk finally get back and make similar comment that this camp appears to be well looked after, just before entering the bunkhouse block I see Lyle sitting outside his office. I said come with me this man is part owner here there camp that I have not seen yet is run by the other half and his name is Keith they are brothers and suspect they may be twins.

As I get closer I say Hi Lyle I would like to introduce you to Sam come on boy's come into the office for a few minutes and let's hear how you have been making out. I said I think we are getting through to them and when Sam arrived they were really interested in the bike he was riding and the gear also so that broke the ice, anyway we will see what happens supper time as we will join up with young guys, we have told them we are both available to talk to as a group or privately.

Lyle says Sam will take a shot of Scotch with us as a token of my appreciation why thank you I would like it with a dash of water please I know Joe here will take it straight well after a second drink I said I think we should go and have supper, good idea says Sam. Well thank you Lyle I will see you before we return to-morrow and next week I will go to your brother place however I would like a map for that area as I do not know my way there. Oh that is east, go past Mountain camp and then the third branch C1 turn down there and it will take you directly into camp.

Great thanks so much, as we enter the cookhouse the young guys call out come and join us please. We get our supper's steak and chips, Sam has the same thing, I take Sam's plate while he gets two large mugs of tea and we join the young guys. The first question that gets thrown at us is how long will it take before our marks show any improvement we both said 3 months oh that long well I guess I'm going to have to buckle down and get my but into gear, dad has said once me marks are over 80% he will consider buying me a dirt bike and that is something really want as it means I can go fishing on my own.

The Dads are listening to all this and each one has his thumb up and a big grin on there faces

We had a good evening, and as we were about to leave we grabbed a couple of cans of ginger ale, one of the Dads came over and said thanks so much for your efforts and then said in about a months time Lyle is have his annual BBQ I'm going to ask him if he will invite you both, it is a time when both camps get together and we all crash in the community hall so bring your swags if Lyle will agree. Well thanks very much, and so we head for our rooms now my bed is well crumbled so I strip off and just carry a towel and go to Sam's room with some over proof rum he has already got the ginger ale, I pour ourselves a good shot and we sit there taking when there is a knock at the door and it is young Jeremy, oh sorry to bother like that don't be shy come on in. So how can we help, Jeremy says this may seem out of place but we young guys have always been encourage to bond and since Sam is a bike rider I would like to fucked by a biker, I laugh and say well we are both bikers can you handle that. Well I'm sure going to try and thank you for not throwing me out. I said it is not only this company but or own company is exactly the same.

I can remember my Dad saying within the first day you may see guys walking around totally in the nude also with the lack of women they have sex with each other just ignore it I don't want to know, now as time goes on you may get the need all I ask is always use condoms and if you run short just ask and in fact I will show you where I keep them so help yourself and always keep a half dozen in your pocket.

It sure sounds like the company you work for is similar to Crew Logging, tell me something else I know you wear a high visibility shirt how come? That is something that is instilled into you when your over 5 years old, you must be visible at all times and it's the same way once you are about 8 years old you start wearing a hard hat at all times during the working day. The company is very safety minded we even have dog tags that give medical history, your name encoded it also provides access to your room instead of a regular key. It can be read by the ambulance and the hospital plus the company it also shows if you are a qualified first aider it is worn 24 hours a day here has a look at mine. Sam shows his as well, gee you both have a first aid ticket we said yes we do and today 95% of the crew have tickets.

Before you can even work in the shop you must already have your ticket -- well that is different but I sort of like that idea. Anyway Jeremy we are wasting time you wanted fucking by two bikers how would you like it done, my legs over your shoulders ok Sam you start well Sam slide in very easily and gets Jeremy off with a big load as the ring piece clamps down.

Sam slips out and we ask would you like some refreshment to wet your mouth please and we hand him a part can of Ginger Ale -- are that's good and with that Joe slides in and really pounds Jeremy hard and heavy the look on Jeremy face is that of great pleasure and delight. Finally Jeremy shoots another big load and Joe fills his condom. Jeremy is just lying there getting his wind back, we check his ginger ale there is still plenty there so I put a shot of rum into the can.

Well Jeremy how does it feel to have been fucked by two bikers one after the other -- exhausting but very pleasurable. So finish up your drink and hit the sack don't forget breakfast is 6:00 am from now on and that much earlier to bed and you will do good my friend. Jeremy cleans off his chest using his undershorts pull his pants on and departs thanking thanks for all that advice I'll see at breakfast 6:00am.

I strengthen Sam's glass and do the same, I return the bottle to my room and head for the toilet get rid of my condom and have a good pee and return to Sam's room and slide into bed, Sam was doing the same thing and he joins me in his bed, we are sitting there finishing off our drink and Sam asks do you have any spare condoms with you, sure do I will have to go and get a couple as we both need one, I nip to my room and grab my toilet bag and return well we both get fucked, Sam does a great job and has lots of practice with his younger brother we finish our drinks must remember to return them to the cook house in the mooring. Well I'm fucking Sam but don't remember completing as I fell asleep. I have an alarm wrist watch that I turned on last night and that dammed thing went off; that's when I found I was still connect so I start pounding Sam and fill my condom before disconnecting, finally I head for the showers, Sam is fully awake now and follows me there, a quick dump and loose the condom then the shower back to my old room where I make it look as if it's been slept in get dressed in my riding gear I had thrown both mine and Sam's overalls into the washer so they were nice and clean. I check with Sam asking are you ready for breakfast yes on my way, Sam says I have a little packing before I'm ready to leave that is fine as I want to have a private work with Lyle. On entry the young guys callout and say look we are all hear bright and early I laugh saying good for you now that means every day guys. We get a good breakfast, Sam get his things packed and I talk briefly with Lyle saying Sam know nothing about what is going on so Mums the word. If I get a call again for Sam to come to your brother place make sure that he says nothing about the changeover -- thanks for tipping me off I'll sure let Keith know when we meet up to-night.

Well you two have a great weekend; there is something I would like to ask are you twins because your features are so similar in every way. Yes we are but it is not commonly known, Mum passed away when were 5 yrs old and so Dad brought us up and was good to us he had both of us working in the bush by the time we were 13 yrs old.

Dad ran a gippo logging outfit then when we were I guess 19 yrs old we could fight any man in the bar and we never ever lost a fight however Dad got into a fight one night we were not there but home just going to bed when the police came to our place to advise us Dad was dead as a result of a bar fight. Neither of us every fought again, I remember sitting at the kitchen table with my brother saying what the hell do we do now. His comment was we must give dad a burial and also get any wood out that has been dropped then we shut her down and get any usable equipment back here and sort out the legal side. The crew was disappointed that we going to shut it down but understood the reason.

Well once everything was sorted out, every came to the two of us equally, much to our surprise Dad had left almost $200,000 plus the house. Well this surprised both of us because Dad only spent money when he really had too.

So again we sat in the kitchen and said to each other what are we going to do? And I said the only thing we know is logging, but Keith's says yes true however I think we need to look for an establish camp where the owner is retiring and we take it over.

We were lucky as we already had a number of contacts and a good logging mate of Dads came to us one day and said I think I know of what you are looking for come with me and I'll take you out there right now and see what you think, well that is still today our camp and the one that Keith looks after.

An amazing story Lyle; I see Sam over there is ready to leave so we are both going back to River Camp, Lyle says oh just a moment and give me an envelope and ask that it be handed to Brent -- I said certainly will do that for you -- I go to shake hands but instead Lyle give me a right tight hug saying save riding Joe see you again soon.

I go back to Sam and ask you ready, sure am OK we are going back through Hillside have your radio on channel 6. I call DR1 to hillside dispatch, good morning Joe how can I help DR1 & DR2 are going to entering the link road and then follow one of the trucks down into camp, we are on our way to River Camp -- out.

Hillside Dispatch -- to DR1 - message received and understood give us a call when you get to the log loading area -- will do -- out

I startup and lead the way and we soon arrive at the log loading area DR1 & DR2 to Hillside dispatch we are at the log loading area - out

Hillside Dispatch to DR1 & DR2 road is open no truck coming up for roughly ½ hour so clear to go -- thanks dispatch we are on our way, 15 minutes later we are in camp #2.

DR1 & DR2 to Hillside dispatch we are now clear and coming in to the camp yard message received, please stop at the office Jack has a package for you -- will do -- out.

We pull up in front of the office, and we both walk in Jack calls out come on in guys do want a mug of tea, no I'm OK what about you Sam no thanks Jack not this time. So how are you doing Sam, pretty good thanks I enjoy my work and everything else, my young brother will be starting in the shop this coming summer and he is looking forward to that from what he tells me, well that is great and by the way Joe; Brent tells me the school marks are on the rise here, I'm sure pleased to hear that good news thanks Jack we will be off. There are no trucks using the roads to River camp but best to check with both dispatches. See you sometime Jack say hi to John please will do. After checking with hillside and river camp dispatches we have a clear run right back into camp.

I call in to River Camp -- DR1 & DR2 one mile out from camp -- out

As we enter camp Brent is outside the office and beckons me, Sam you go and get filled up I'll there in a few minutes, I stop my bike and get the package out, and Brent says I want to here how you made out at Lyle's camp. I'll be there in a few minutes must fuel up first -- fair enough give me 5 minutes and I'll be back.

Sam is waiting at the pump, and I thank him for coming out when requested so when are you next off, same thing next week. I'll see you later thanks mate you did an awesome job and you sure got the guys all talking when arrived.

I ride back to the office and simply leave my helmet in my office and head for John office, shut the door please Joe. So firstly how did you make out with the young guys in Lyles section I think very well. At first they didn't really believe me and they asked if there they could hear how someone else made out to my suggestion so that is how Sam came over on Wednesday morning, with him pulling up on his bike it drew a lot of attention from all these young guys. Sam asks tell me where the toilet is please and after that I'll tell what you want to know, by this time I'm out there and said go and use my room here is the key and get your gear off. He had come correctly dressed as you would see him here during the work day and even had his hard hat. The guys are asking me a number of good questions about the bike and they ask also is the bike own by your company I said yes but I also have my own bike which is little bigger in capacity. Sam returns and say lets go inside, now guys you asked for someone to verify what I had said about changing your hours of school work.

Sam please tell these guys how you got your school mark up, Sam does a fantastic job and almost has them eating out of his hand. There was a continuous discussion and I said again if you want to talk to either of us privately or as groups please don't hold back, now we are both going to take a walk. I saw Lyle sitting outside his office so I introduce Sam; he said come on into the office and with that he got out his shot glasses luckily nothing was said that would trigger Sam thinking. However this morning just before leaving I thank Lyle for his hospitality and told him Sam know nothing only those present at the meeting do, now if the same thing occurs while I'm at your brothers camp please let him know when you talk to him. I got full support from all the Dads and the pressure is on the young guys.

So Sam needs to put in for two days extra pay will you deal with that please Joe certainly.

Now lets get down to the nity gritty the new guest house, my architect advise me there is not room for both a board room and a lounge it is one or the other, so this is what I have come up with the lounge will be in the new building so firstly we move your old home and get it operational ASAP on the new site, that means nothing has to be moved out.

Get going on the new guest house, also extend this building put two offices on the far end, and take this office and enlarge it and make it the board room. The way the building faces it will create a "U" shape building. Now what is behind the receptionist area John, it has files and other office storage it is rather full. Ok we will put the storage before the new offices and open that up as your lady needs more space plus it will give her a window to the sunshine and cross ventilation. The old guest house we leave as it is for the present.

Those two new offices it would be nice to put patio doors in there and also the board room, what about you Joe we can easily change that window out and make it a patio door well that would be nice. It that all agreed so once the new guest house is completed you can move in to your apartment. The only thing that will not be there is laundry and dryer however downstairs in the guest house we will put a heavy weight machine and dryer.

So John how many spare bunkhouse room do we have plus four guest house rooms they can be used for the construction superintendant and possible his Forman.

Guys do you see any problems no nothing at present but need to look at this building outside and pace it out for size, fair enough says Brent who then asks do we have any drawing of the building -- I'm not sure with out looking at the old records, hope there is something as it will help the architect know what he is dealing with. John goes to the storage area and much to his surprise he locates the drawings and get them all out there four different ones and take them back to his office and they both pour over them and appear to be up to date great says Brent and they get rolled up and slipped in to a tube, he says I will get them all digitized.

What are you guys doing this weekend, nothing special well come into town this evening and we will go to the pub for supper then tomorrow look at bikes you will stay at my place and Joe bring your riding gear so if we are successful you can ride the bike back to River Camp we three need a change of scenery and I will return by the following weekend and then all three of us can go riding and take a picnic lunch what do you say guys.

John says to Joe I guess there is really nothing to get ready for your Crew Logging next week as it will be the same as the other camp.

The main thing I need to do is get laundry done but that could wait till Monday the other than to pack some town clothes etc but I think while in town I'm going to get another set of overalls for riding Brent says that is something we can do on Saturday as I need a couple of sets as well.

John says hey guys I hope Kia has not cleared the soup away because we need some lunch lets there right now. As we enter the Cookhouse Kia says he has some even better soup and salmon sandwiches for all of us. You had your lunch yet no I was just about to get it well then join us please thank you will do.

Within 5 minutes lunch is served while we are drinking tea, the three of us are going to town shortly we ask Kia is there anything you need a nice bottle of scotch no problems we will be back for supper on Sunday have a good time -Bye
