I remember when they built the two treatment plants in Milwaukie, one by the old log boom and the other by the Oak Grove Train Trestle.
Yep, two communities that put absolutely no value on waterfront property 50 years ago. Now they want it back for community recreational use. But as the old saying goes, “the people in hell want ice water.” No way at today’s prices can they afford to tear down the old plants and build them elsewhere and still have money to reclaim the properties for community use…..
 
They have them large enough to swim in??? Whoa!
Yeah, there are hundreds of them. They usually flow into the rivers here at some point. You can kayake down a river and take little side creeks until you get to the source, which is a spring flowing out of a deep blue sinkhole in the ground. You can kayake about 9 miles down a river and swim in about 10 different springs. And they are everywhere. Kind of an unseen Florida treat.
