I found this strip while trolling around on google earth. Coordinates: 45.150281,-122.147412
Looks semi clear but with tall trees. Obviously probably an old FS strip, anyone know the story?
Trying to figure out how to paste a direct link to googlemaps. Will post when I do.
Cheers!

Thanks for digging that up. I guess I should have tried the search tool first!
Looks like nothing ever came of trying to re-open it... still looks kinda cool tho!

It helps that I saw it before. "I think that looks familiar," I said.
