On a recent trip from Chetwynd to Prince George, I finally had the time to take the detour into Mackenzie and see the sights there. Was I surprised to see this massive piece of machinery right at the entrance to the town!

I asked around and learned that the tree crushers were used to prepare the reservoir that is now Williston Lake, before the W.A.C. Bennett Dam was built. I sure would like to try driving it!
