ragemanchoo82's conversations
Hi, ragemanchoo82
The area was used to collect water and send it through pipes to Oregon City. The pipes went through the tunnels, as well I assume so did maintenance vehicles, although the last upper tunnel on the South Clackamas would probably be too small for a conventional vehicle. The tunnel in this picture is located along the Memaloose and was the last one blasted. Since no water collector was completed above the falls outside of the tunnel, pipes were not sent through this one. Basically it is a tunnel to nowhere.
Here is a thread from a forum I found that decsribes some of what was going on at the time.>>> South Clackamas Info

You must be talking about Victor Trevitt's grave, the square brick base with the obelisque on it. I can just barely see it in your photo.
There used to be a number of above-ground graves on the island. This photo apparently dates from around 1950 (!) http://www.historylink.org/dbimages/MemalooseIslandColumbiaRiver.jpg
Here's a 1905 postcard. http://www.columbiariverimages.com/PennyPostcards/Images/PCmemalooseislandtrevittobolisk_ca1905.jpg

It was probably a site error, then

Thanks for the correction on my Craigellachie Bridge photo. When I uploaded the photo, the resolution was not as good as it is now, so I couldn't pinpoint the spot through the cloud. thanks for taking the time to write and bringing it to my attention! Best wishes, Virginia

Apparently a railroad bridge used to cross the river about 300 feet ahead of the camera. The 'road' can still be seen on either side of the river. To the south much of it has been converted into a nature/bicycle trail. It ends in Keith, where it connected to a still-active line. The north road runs up to Rothes and where it connected to a line there, and the other branch at Elgin

Do you get to this area very often? If you ever go back you should get some photos of the old Pixieland site, its just to the south of the bridge, on the south side of the river.

This is an old WWII pillbox but was built to protect the railway - I don't know when the line was closed but it is now a nice walk.
