Ahh yes, the "blackberry patch" crane.
Mostly intact, though the copper thieves have apparently hit it hard over the years. And it truly is BURIED in blackberries. But, it's real, and it's there.
Has been some local discussion about saving it, off-and-on... but many of the potential players are tied up with other projects, i.e. ORHF, etc. The preservation community in the PDX area is bigger than some, and quite active... but still a small group of folks. Just so much time & money to go around...
It would be a neat save, though...
