+Navdog Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 Interesting pictures. The thermal image looking down on the helicopter is pretty cool. Checking the coordinates of the image, I was able to place it directly over Portland Creek, which is obviously the dark area running from top to bottom in the image. I haven't been paying much attention to the Clark Fire, but checking the Active Fire Map page, I noticed it was along Fall Creek. Wow!! what a shame. That is a beautiful area of Old Growth forest along the creek with some nice campgrounds and hiking trails. The adventures of Navdog, Justdog, and Otterpup Quote Link to comment
+oregone Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 From 'Oregon Geographic Names' by Lewis A. McArthur: quote:According to A.J. Briem, long time USFS district ranger, a group of miners from Portland staked a claim and built a cabin at the forks of Portland Creek northwest of Sinker Mountain. They were known as the 'Portland Outfit' and thus gave their name to the creek. all rights reserved, all wrongs reversed Quote Link to comment
