Note: This was my 1st Waymark.First planks for the Canyon Road connecting Portland with the rich Tualatin Valley were laid near this spot in September 1851. As a community effort it brought farm produce to our docks and established Portland as a port and market for the Old Oregon Country. This large monument, placed by the Lang Syne Society 1960, is located in the Park Blocks in downtown Portland.
Instructions for logging this waymark: locate and photograph the monument with either you or your GPSr in the picture.
