Historic Hood River

Notes

This well-dressed crew is a group that accompanied Ella May Davidson on one of her excursions.  I believe they are waiting for the ferry (note the bench), possibly the Underwood Ferry which docked at the mouth of the White Salmon River.  The date would be mid-1910s.

It’s hard to imagine dressing like that for an excursion into the countryside, but we’ve seen they dressed like this for every trip.  I wonder if they would have dressed so well if there weren’t cameras around?  But mostly I wonder what’s inside that carton the woman on the left is carrying.  Left-overs from lunch?
