BLM to demolish, replace restrooms at Shotgun Creek near Eugene

Starting in mid-November, BLM will demolish and remove the site's wastewater treatment infrastructure. Crews will demolish the above-ground facilities including a holding basin and a control shed and fill below-ground infrastructure with rocks and cement. The BLM will remove the southern restroom and temporarily close the northern restroom.

The recreation area will remain open during the construction, and BLM will try to limit construction to the off season. The Shotgun Creek Recreation Area is in Marcola 20 miles northeast of Eugene.

To celebrate, he organized the Nova Convention, a gathering combining the most influential literary minds of the Beat and hippie generations (many of whom found their way into Eugene at some point during the peak of their careers): Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Phillip Glass, John Giorno, Frank Zappa and more.
