I was there ever connecting logging roads to Squamish Current Conditions Tuesday, October 22, 2013
I have been reading great contrversy some people say they have driven to Squamish from pt Mellon others say it never could be done. If there ever was connecting logging road why did they not leave them. Maybe we should open them up and have a toll road. Others have said there has never been a road and say it is imposssible to drive to Squamish because of the Squamish river. Some people have got pretty upset about this rumor.
