The Garibaldi Smokestack

The Garibaldi Smokestack
A landmark on the Oregon Coast, in Garibaldi, OR. The stack was built in 1927 as part of the Hammond Sawmill and is the only part of the mill that survives. It was almost demolished for safety reasons in 2013 because the concrete had deteriorated so much in the sea air, but was instead preserved by sheathing it in fiberglass to forestall further decay. It was considered enough of a historical monument to warrant the effort!

An interesting landmark! Not quite as heavily leaning as the tower in Pisa it will hopefully stay upright for a long time.

HEYYYY!!! I recognize that!! Steve and I drove past this smoke stack several times and I was so curious that as we drove, I figured out what it was and read information about it. So fascinating. Of course we also couldn't stop thinking about the area's name because, as scuba divers, we have come in close contact with the gorgeous marine goldfish, aka, Garibaldi, which is such a delight to find while cruising around in that chilly but lovely water.

TY for the info you furnished about crater and caldera definitions...heh, there is a REASON that those terms are so darn confusing...if you look them up, you'll see...they are sometimes synonymously described. And after all that, you've filled me in on further details! Thanks for that--I enjoyed your extra info.

Sorry you weren't able to stop by last time...socked in with smoke is no fun...we spent September and October trying to avoid the smoke, which chased us from one park to the next, rousting us from here, sending us there, but in the end we still had a lovely time. :)

Finally, just wanted to mention how much I love your pictures and the information you share. It's fun that you're basically in our backyard so a great deal of your pictures are places we can go or have visited! I love adding spots we'd like to visit based on pictures of others on ipernity, so thanks for that!

Have a great day!

Didn't know you were scuba divers! I'm impressed. I've done a little bit of snorkeling in the Florida Keys a couple of times, is all, and that was years ago.

One problem with the technical terms is that popular expositions have been known to garble them! ;) And in any case they do change over time, and there is always some variation in usage. I used to tell classes that the technical jargon is just a convenience, to replace a paragraph with a word or two. It's not word magic--the concepts are what's important, not the words!

Thanks for your kind comments on my pix! It's fun to see your take on places, too. Here's Paulina Lake in the smoke :(
