Tunnel 13 - Oregon History
The story of the Siskiyou Massacre, one of the bloodiest and saddest stories in Oregon History.
I hope you like this short documentary. It's a little rough around the edges (I need to find a better source for historical images so they aren't so low resolution), but I think you should find the story is presented well.

Forgotten Town in Oregon

Fun Things to Do in Reedsport on the Oregon Coast
Reedsport is a small town on the Oregon Coast, located at the point where the Umpqua River flows into the Pacific. Reedsport is nicely situated in the midst of the famous Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. These features combine to make Reedsport a scenic and fun place to visit and an access point to a broad range of outdoor recreation. Here are my picks for fun things to do in Reedsport, Oregon.
Umpqua Discovery Center
Reedsport's Umpqua Discovery Center is a little tricky to find but well worth a visit. The museum has two wings -- one devoted to the natural history of the region, the other devoted to the human history. All of the exhibits are well designed to appeal to both children and adults. The natural history section is a simulated hike called Pathways To Discovery - Exploring Tidewater Country. The walls along the way are covered in exquisitely detailed murals containing the flora and fauna that call the area home.
Interpretive signs, exhibits, drawers, and recordings are scattered along the route, filling you in on the local critters and landscape. Be sure to spend some time in the theatre cave to view one of the short films. The other section inside of the Umpqua Discovery Center is called Tidewaters & Time. You'll take a walk through time, learning about the local human history and culture through a variety of sights and sounds. The Coastal Indian Tribes, early explorers, pioneers, loggers, fishermen, and early settlement are all covered.
The center of the Umpqua Discovery Center contains a well-stocked gift shop that includes books, nautical items, gift items, and learning toys. The museum sits along the Umpqua River. Decks and boardwalks behind the center allow you to enjoy great views of Reedsport's bridges and estuarine environment. Take the stairs up to the viewing tower to extend your view.
Umpqua Lighthouse State Park
The charming Umpqua Lighthouse lies within a working U.S. Coast Guard facility and can be visited on a scheduled tour. Nearby you'll find the Coastal Visitor Center & Museum, located in the old Coast Guard Administration Building. The visitor center houses many interesting exhibits and artifacts related to the history of Coast Guard activities in the area. Umpqua Lighthouse State Park visitors can also enjoy camping, walking trails, whale watching, and picnicking.
Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area
You'll head east out of Reedsport on Highway 38 to get to the Dean Creek Elk Viewing Area, home of a resident herd of magnificent Roosevelt elk. The viewing area stretches along a 3-mile section of Oregon Highway 38, with two viewing areas and several observation pull-outs. The Dean Creek Elk outdoor interpretive exhibits allow you to learn more about the elk, as well as other local flora and fauna. Another BLM-operated recreation site, the O.H. Hinsdale Rhododendron Garden, is located on the other side of Highway 38.
Oregon Dunes NRA Visitor Center
Staffed by expert park rangers, the official visitor center for the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area is located right along Highway 101 in Reedsport. You'll be able to find out anything and everything you want to know about Oregon Dunes activities, as well as other local recreation and attractions. The Oregon Dunes NRA Visitor Center also has a few interpretive exhibits and a small bookstore.

The Disney/Beecher history in Portland, Oregon.
Visited a Disney family historical site right here in my home of Portland. I aslo got to see where Walt Disney's sister is burried. Because I was so close, I also stopped by the gravesite of a family friend who passed away not to long ago. The guitar piece at the end is an original by myself.

No Justice
The US Navy is allowing a priceless collection of captured antique bronze cannons to disintegrate before their eyes at their oldest base, in Washington DC, the Washington Navy Yard. What can we do about it?
Springfield Arsenal LLC has tried for nearly a year to get something started with the Navy to at least halt the ongoing destruction of these cannons, It may be time for new approaches, such as writing our elected representatives. Ultimately of course, the cannons aren't the Navy's personal property to neglect as they see fit, they belong to the American people, and I know many of those people agree with us that such irreplacable items deserve much better care.
____________________
I've been watching the fine bronze cannons at the Washington Navy Yard deteriorate for about 30 years. This rare, fragile specimen, cast in 1686, is showing a lot of pitting, delamination, and general corrosion from the elements. I've asked the Navy if they couldn't move this one particularly fragile specimen indoors. They replied that they chose to leave all the guns outside, and have done nothing I can see to protect them in the ten months since I corresponded with them.
This made me wonder if there wasn't some law or regulation which requires government employees to at least attempt to mitigate damage to historical property when they are aware it is occurring. Does anyone know if there is such a law, regulation, or requirement on the books anywhere?
The slideshow linked below shows the extensive corrosion this piece has incurred from being kept outside in the elements.
