06-12AP Rosboro Landing Art PrintThis Rosboro Lumber Company landing scene took place on what was called the Plane Crash Site. The name Plane Crash was used because a private airplane crash-landed near here. The pilot escaped without injury. Not being a woodsman nor using common sense, he left the wrecked plane and started walking uphill. By leaving the wrecked plane, he eliminated a point of rescue when he turned up missing and the hunt for his plane began.My dad was an outdoorsman and he instructed my four brothers and me that if we were lost in the woods of Western Oregon we should remain calm and begin walking downhill until we came to a stream, then walk downstream and we would eventually come in contact with a human dwelling. Never walk uphill! Needless to say, the survivor of the plane crash escaped unharmed from the plane wreckage - but because of walking uphill he froze to death in freezing temperatures at higher altitudes. Rosboro Lumber Company is a major wood products firm in this region of Western Oregon, and has been for many years. (Thanks to Gordon Culbertson for information about the story and the scene for the Rosboro Landing painting.) |
