| With the road from McAndrew AFB ending here at the Shoal Harbour Repeater Station, everything is loaded onto the speeder trailers for transport to Camp-I, three miles further north We are waiting for Leroy Hawco our speeder operator to get clearance from the dispatcher. As we are on the Bonivista branch he will back down to the main line and head north for Camp-I. Joe Louie Photograph |

| This view was taken in early spring of 1953, showing the water fall behind the kitchen and mess tents. This stream flowed just to the left of the kitchen tent, went under the railroad track and emptied into the Shoal Harbour river. Water for drinking and kitchen use came from this stream. Our two generators for power are standing on the right in front of the mess tent. On Saturday evenings we had movies in the mess tent. Joe Louie Photograph |

| This is the hut that Jerome and I stayed in at Camp-I. We found the screen in the supply tent and made the screen door. Newfoundland was loaded with black flys and mosquitos. We went through cases of citronella to try and keep them off. Joe Louie Photograph |

| View of the telephone pole-yard from the hill behind Camp-I. Camp facilities are to the right of this photo. The fellows at Camp-II at Port Blanford had to travel by speeder to this yard at Shoal Harbour to pick up poles for their jobs at Port Blanford. The Shoal Harbour gravel pit is at Mile Post 135.75. Port Blanford was at M.P.150.87. Jerome Young Photograph. |
