[or-roots] Pass Creek stories

[Ray Powell]

Leslie,
I was unable to find Shadybrook anywhere in Oregon. I did find a Pass Creek 
and a Pass Creek Shelter as well as a West Pass Creek Rd and a Pass Creek 
Trail. The were all in an area about 35 miles east and a little north of 
Sutherlin, OR. The lat/lon of the shelter is
N43° 29.25'
W122° 47.28'

There may be other places that went by the same name for a short period of 
time but never were recorded as such. Good luck!
