Witch's cabin?

What, no mention of the Witch's Cabin? At least post a photo of it! --76.105.220.142 (talk) 20:54, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

What is it? Do you have a reliable source that mentions it? Finetooth (talk) 21:29, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
This is hardly reliable, but positively identifies it. Of course, it is better known by another name. —EncMstr (talk) 00:38, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
Ah, yes. An old friend that appears in the Balch Creek article as File:Macleay stone building.jpg. Finetooth (talk) 04:18, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I've created Stone House (Portland, Oregon). ---Another Believer (Talk) 03:51, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

October 2014 trip wire discovery

I've never edited a wiki, so I'm just dipping my toe in here, but wanted to ask if anyone remembers hearing about the booby trap that was found on one of the trails back in Oct. 2014.

It was also covered by FOX 12 news here: http://www.kptv.com/story/26831946/tripwire-device-found-on-hiking-trail-near-forest-park-in-portland

---Another Believer (Talk) 04:02, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the helpful link and heads-up, @Another Believer: I added a sentence about the bridge, which I must try out after it opens. Finetooth (talk) 03:25, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
