  • Target shooting in our National Forest creates a problem

    In the latest MHFHA Newsletter there was a short piece of information pertaining to the problem of firearms being discharged in the cabin area.

    The Mountain Times had a more in-depth article of the effects of irresponsible “target shooters”.

  • A Few Scoundrels May Still be Lurking on the Mountain

    I recently received this information from a cabin owner.

    Daryl,

    The tool shed next to our house on Road 9 was broken into sometime after May 6th.  They pried open a side window in an attempt to bypass the alarm system, and quickly made off with a couple pair of snowshoes and an axe.  Not much else of value in there for them to steal.  This is the first break-in at our place since installing an alarm system in 1981.  Our house, as well as the neighbors house and shed, were unscathed.  Not sure of the exact date that Jason Stidham was apprehended in Clark County with a van full of stolen items from cabins in Rhododendron, but there likely are other miscreants roaming around out there.  Just because this one guy was busted doesn’t mean we should ever let our guards down.

    B. Atiyeh  Road 9

    Note:
    There was a sticker on the window that says the house and premises are protected by an alarm company.

    Taken along with two pairs of snowshoes, were a short-handled ax, and a floater tube for fly-fishing. This was reported it to the Clackamas Co. Sheriff’s office.  They took a report and gave a case number.  The burglars left behind on the steps one of their loppers and a pair of black swim fins (not theirs).  Previous to this, they took some crayfish traps from this cabin.

    This is an indication that we still need to be vigilant and look out for our neighbors and report any suspicious happenings.

  • Road 32 bridge Across Still Creek is Closed

    This information was recently received:

    A recent inspection of the Road 32 bridge that crosses Still Creek revealed the need to close the bridge to vehicle traffic.  The bridge is closed as of May 21, 2013.  The Forest Service doesn’t yet have any projection for repair or replacement of this bridge, but we will keep the MHFHA updated as we learn more information.  A news release is being prepared and will be posted to the Mt Hood National Forest website soon, but we are asking the MHFHA to help us get the word out to cabin owners and their contractors.

    I received this information from a cabin owner on road 12 that had his cabin broken into.

    Darl,

    I received a call from the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Department.   The Vancouver Police found a stolen U-Haul with the driver asleep.  Inside it was stuffed with stolen cabin furniture.  They sent me a picture of my living room set, so I know some of my stuff was inside.  Not sure if the other cabin owners have been notified.  Can you spread the word?

    They also mentioned that they have the driver in custody; hopefully more arrests forthcoming.  By the sounds of it, they have recovered a lot of furniture (at least the truck was filled to the brim).

    Thank you.

    If you had you cabin broken into and items stolen you should contact the Clackamas County Sheriffs office if the have not already contacted you. Their phone number is 503/655-8218
