Boulder Camp was the last camp used by Willamette Valley and served as a reload point for the railroad until it too was
removed. As you drive through here, there is a flattened off area to the right with pipes sticking out of the ground,
broken glass, and other tidbits. On the left was the heart of activity of the camp and the area. There was even a
servicing pit that I could not get a good picture of at that time.
