Wilber Johnson and his dog drive the ferry across the North Thompson River at Vavenby. The sheep camp road is above. The photos are part of a collection of about two dozen he has of the Vavenby and Birch Island area, says Clearwater resident Chuck Emery. This community needs a museum to keep artifacts such as the photos, Emery says.
