Barn Collapse in Gaston
For 40 or more years this barn has stood up to everything from the Columbus Day storm to Mt. St. Helens eruption, but last week's snowfall proved to be too much weight for the old barn. Luckily, there were no people or animals nearby, just some old farm equipment and hay.

I have a lot of memories from this old barn, mostly loading hay in and out of it, and building hay forts with my brother back in day. It's been long standing for quite a while, and we were planning on clearing part of it out to build a small shop for my mustang.. looks like that wont be happening. I haven't seen it in person yet, but just the pictures shocked me.
It seemed like a sturdy old barn, and I never expected it to fall, but apparently a couple of structures out in Gaston collapsed under the wieght of the snow. While the snow has melted off pretty quick in the Portland area, there was still about 6 inches out there when I left yesterday.
Luckily no animals or kids were out there, I know my daughter and neices and nephew like to run around that place crazy, so glad none of them were near the barn when it went down. Crazy stuff!!
