What a great photo of local search and rescue hero’s!

Just incredible. Lived here my whole life, huge history and nature lover, and I still can’t believe how freaking cool Oregon is. And even though I already knew about the CragRats, visited their orchard hilltop lodge, and researched Cloud Cap Inn, I still got tears of pride the whole time I watched the CragRats 100th Anniversary video: https://youtu.be/ccjEIVoStvk
And despite all my knowledge of and endless experiences in Oregon–and despite visiting over 50 countries worldwide–I am still regularly blown away by how cool Oregon and her people are. Bravo CrfagRats. Encore!

There is a great museum in ZigZag with a wealth of information about the early formation years of the Crag Rats

The man to the right of Rob Hukari name is Bill Gale- not Gate. Must have been a typo.

Thanks another Hukari, I corrected the name. I used OCR to grab the text on the reverse, and it’s not 100% accurate.
