This is how old people treated the cameraman in '48.

Short vid of Multnomah Falls in 1939.
Neat collection of videos you've added - almost a Marilyn Monroe 'Seven Year Itch ' moment on that Crown Point clip. The snowball bunch didn't look much prepared for an assault on Hood. I take it that a couple of these are home movies that someone posted on youtube?
Thx,

A very dry 1950's film explaining how radioactive material dumped into the Columbia doesn't harm fish.

Anyone know where the scene from 1:20 was shot?
I've been wondering this too. Pretty clearly they fudged a little here and included something not on the Highway itself, but just after that lookout, they show a view of Bonneville from above. Was there an old lookout up there at one point that could be driven to?
The other thought that crossed my mind is that it could have been Larch Mountain. Not sure if there used to be a look out up there, but the road has been up there a long time and, logged, the view might look like that near the end of the road, curving up to the parking lot.

There was a lookout on Larch and I remember it well. However, it was way higher up than the one in the film. I do not know where that was shot but I will study it. Great mystery!
Below is a image of Larch mountain taken from the Dogami lidar viewer. You can see a dotted line pattern of indentations made by logging operations. About 30 seconds into the clip you can see how these indentations are made.
