There continues to be active – and very noisy logging – all around Lac des Roches. The feller buncher working just on the other side of the south-west shore mountain can be heard clearly all day and night and is responsible for the subtle and surprising alteration to the horizon as trees disappear from the crest of the hill from the cut blocks on the back side of the hill. One resident has been told that log hauling from the north, down Wavey Lake road, will end within 2 weeks. The snow ploughing will likely cease if there are no logging trucks using this forest service road – happy news to sledders who use this road to access trails. Other log hauling could last until spring break-up forces road restrictions. In order to meet targets, some mills switch to earlier unloading hours which places logging trucks on the roads and highways in the very early hours of the morning. With logging trucks hauling – what seems like – both day and night, drivers are cautioned to take extra care on the roads.
