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

Crater Lake and a bunch of mountains that you all love. 1938.
You're welcome.
Re: Historical Films of Interest
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?Chase wrote: [...]

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

Re: Historical Films of Interest
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?Chase wrote:
Anyone know where the scene from 1:20 was shot?
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.

Re: Historical Films of Interest
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!AFLitt wrote:

Fail on the embed but here's a link to a 1920's film "Felling the Forest Giants" the entire film can be purchased from http://www.qualityinformationpublishers.com/
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.
