Homeless and living out of a travel trailer years ago, Wicks and his son, Norman Wicks Jr., spent much of their time here hanging out at a secluded spot on the Willamette riverbank north of Linnton, a Portland neighborhood in the industrial belt off Highway 30. It was a great place to swim, fish or conduct their work taking apart and recycling computers - with no one to bother them. Sometimes they'd build bonfires and spend the night, driving their trailer onto the dirt access road that leads to three giant Bonneville Power Administration electric transmission towers next to the river.
