Historic Hood River
“The Wild Men”
11-23-2020
Notes
This fun image from one of the legion climbs bears the caption, “The wild men, who were tamed, however, by the frigid atmosphere of the mountain last Saturday.” I believe the caption was prepared for one of the local newspapers.
I can’t explain why the men have decorated themselves with sprigs of what I think is hemlock.

A rather delicate subject, but with the co-ed climbs there had to be some kind of restroom arrangement. Have always wondered. Are there some kind of primitied facilities or is the mountain littered with cast off of climbers?
