US 30 twists down to HUNT CREEK, 80.7 m. [West of Portland] then climbs a spur from which a desolate waste of logged over land extends in all directions. A high, sharply etched mountain (L), with sides bare of vegetation, shows the results of unrestricted timber cutting.

"One of the many sections of our state highways made desolate by logging operations. On Hunt Creek about twenty miles east of Astoria. Paved in 1920."

At this post, an old spur road heads down to the creek and the old bridge site. This spur seems to have been used as an access road for awhile since the CRH was abandoned here.

The original embankment fill for Route 2 was impressive here, but the massive embankment fill for modern US 30 looms over everything here, dwarfing the remnants of the old highway. The original bridge, a wooden trestle bridge, would have been tall and impressive.
