Stumbled across this interesting website that has old panoramic photos from all the lookouts in the Mt Hood NF:

And another page that shows some info about CCC activity in the Mt Hood NF:

Too bad the images are so small, 300 x 700.

 

But now that they appear Public Domain, we should host our images some where for those who like to see the details.

On a related note, while looking at some of these photos, I noticed that there was a box on Frazier Mountain that looks like one of the old phone boxes.  Does anyone know if it is still there?  (like the one on Ruddy Hill)

That's much better. The fun is in the details.

 

That box looked a bit wobbly then. I have never bee to that point and I was told it's growed in but it would be interesting to find.

 

I have seen the wire corridor crossing somewhere along that old road part of Grouse Pt East end.

Thanks for posting these Rob, I see I now have a new hobby, going out and trying to duplicate these panoramas to see how they look now.
