Historic Hood River

Notes

A reader mentioned enjoying the refreshing leaks from the Powerdale flume penstock on hot summer days.  I couldn’t find any images of that, but I think this one will help you think cool thoughts as the temperatures soar past 100.  This is the flume along the east bank of the Hood River.  You can see a house up on Prospect Point in the background for orientation. It was cold enough the refreshing leaks were freezing on contact creating ice sculptures.

This is a Jack Wilson image from a cold snap in 1950.
