Woodcock ca. 1942

For the Where Am I In BC Group.

For more Woodcock pictures click here.

Update: I found the place!! I will post a 'then and now' pair here once the location has been guessed. But, it looks almost identical today as it did in 1942. The house is the same. The ridge line is the same. The wood in front is gone and the fence has changed. Guess away!

(Oh, and it's not Endako.)

Original note: Can anyone identify this place? It is likely along the railroad between Prince George and Prince Rupert, BC.

OK ... thanks Dru!. Next time I'm in the area, I will check it out -- see if I can match up the skyline.

New Hazelton?

TFM says:

Not Suskwa, Murray Rudge, Smithers, or New Hazelton.

But, moving down the line is a good approach for solving this one.

South Hazelton ?
As an aside, here's a funny line that came up when I googled South Hazelton on a preamble for some dating site, I guess :D
"Meet thousands of local singles in the South Hazelton, British Columbia dating area today. Find your true love at Matchmaker.com."

TFM says:

It's not South Hazelton, but that is very funny! Thousands of local singles! That's quite the place! Imagine ... I've never stopped in!

21mickrange says:

Woodcock ? Must be even more singles there, or not enough, one of the two :)

Darn it! I should have known that one as we landed on the old Woodcock runway many times during CASARA exercises.

My buddy and I were looking for the Woodcock Station (which is gone now) when we were surprised to see that house. We had been looking for it too but had no idea it was in Woodcock.

Thanks for all the guesses and comments, everyone.
