It was reported that the television series “Top Gear America” was in the area over the weekend and into this week to shoot a segment for the History Channel series.

Producers had met earlier with Forks Chamber, the City of Forks and a few area log truck drivers in preparation for the filming.

“Top Gear” is an American motoring television series, based on the BBC series of the same name.

Also this last week, a British documentary maker, Charles Bower, was in Forks looking for an F150 Ford pick-up, 1970s era, for a film he is making about miracles.

Bower was hoping to meet up with Bob McIntyre to employ the use of McIntyre’s drone camera, but the Forks Forum never did hear if Bower located a pick-up.
