After years at sea in submarines wondering what that smoke stack thing was for, I resolved to find out someday. Well, after buying my parents house and living there for some years I went up on Mt. Baldy and took a picture of it. Then started researching it by contacting the Gresham Outlook, the Rockwood water district, and finally the Portland Water Bureau. I found out from the Portland Water Bureau that this "smoke stack" thing is in fact a vent pipe for Conduit #1 running from the Bull Run River to Portland. It was built around 1885. The Gresham Outlook did a small article using one of my pictures about the "smoke stack" turned Conduit #1 vent pipe.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07401083920215394236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20029943.post-1167674906978641332007-01-01T10:08:00.000-08:002007-01-01T10:08:00.000-08:00We used to play on Kelly Butte when I was a kid, b...We used to play on Kelly Butte when I was a kid, back when the drive-in was open and the bunker was active. <BR/><BR/>I remember my cousins and I finding the bunker and creeping up to the door, where there was a camera and a buzzer. No, we didn't hit the buzzer, but we still got an authoritative "May I help you?" over the speaker. We squealed and ran for our lives.frykittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508965891592510912noreply@blogger.com
