Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We came upon this small monument quite by chance. There are no signs indicating its presence, so you basically have to keep your eyes open. We obviously weren’t looking for it – because we didn’t know it existed – but somehow managed to spy it on the side of the road. What, or who, is this small monument for?
According to the inscription, this cairn is dedicated to Donald Henkel who “was a coastal logger for most of his life” and a “rebel and an outlaw with swagger, not style.” I like how the inscription is kind of tongue-in-cheek; it alludes to the character of the man in just a few words. I’m just disappointed there isn’t more information readily available on Mr. Henkel. I would assume, however, that he was a logger in Port Clements, given the monument’s proximity to that community.
So, where is this monument? Assuming you’re traveling towards Port Clements from Tlell, it is approximately 2 kilometers outside of Port. Once you pass the blue information sign, keep your eyes peeled to the right of the highway. If you don’t blink, you just might spot it! While probably not worth a trip on its own, the memorial makes for a nice brief stop en route to elsewhere.
PS: The TripAdvisor map appears to be waaay off!
