[edit] Parts sold?

A friend told me that parts of the USS Oregon were sold to the mining operation at Jawbone Flats, Oregon in the Opal Creek Wilderness. There are indeed numerous rusty boilers and cool stuff like that up there, right off the main trail. Seems like an interesting addendum to the history of the ship. This is mostly a note to myself (or whoever beats me to it) to follow up on that and see if there is a source for the info. Katr67 21:50, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
