REPORT DETAIL

Description of event: The first two are pics I took along the Abiqua River. I was about 2 miles behind a locked gate. Had taken a road down towards the river and an old, grown over, spur road about a half mile from the river. The first thing I noticed was a three foot diameter rock atop a fifteen foot stump. Being about a quarter mile from a logged off area, i didn't think much about this...I think loggers like to do these things. Looking around the area, there was about 10 to 12 piles of stacked rocks. Some stacked so unique that they seemed to require hours of labor. In a small cut bank was the following little shelter looking thing.(don't know what else to call it) Measured about 4x4 inches. Still have a pic of stacked rocks also....probably many more around here some place. This was the mid 90ties and I did show them to Peter, Ray, Larry, and and anyone else who would take a look. They all said yea....ok....could be kids playing. Could be, but.....what kind of kids spend that much time way....way...out in the forest playing???? I know I have always wondered. Steve Williams PS. It had rained as always in Oregon and not a hint of a footprint anywhere. Ideas anyone?? addendum: The Abiqua River, or creek as it is on some maps, is east of Silverton Oregon. Then swings out North of Silverton, south of Molalla Ore. The area I was in is in whats known as the Abiqua Basin, foothills to the Cascade Mountain Range. The closes civilation is Drakes Crossing, approx eight miles from where I was at. Beautiful place, heavy logging area, closes mines are all closed down many years ago. Flows about 6 air miles from the Molalla River at some points. It was the mid nineties and the road was a spur road, cut off by burrows dug by BLM to keep vehicles out, extremely overgrown. Couldn't drive down it anyway and recently, couldn't find it. This little thing was in a dirt cut bank that still existed from building the spur road. The rock piles were scattered around on and off the road. No other signs of human activity, campfires, garbage, beer cans, old car seats, etc.......The normal stuff that pigs make when they are out camping. Will go looking for pic of area. The interesting part was that the rocks were not just stacked. They were artistically stacked, lots of labor involved. Steve Williams
