Notes

This is such a great image I wish we knew were it was, but we don’t. I know the Stanley Smith lumber flume from Green Point crossed Riordan Hill road near the bottom, but I think that was a much more substantial flume. This could be anywhere, but at least it reminds us of the engineering wonders of the era.

    That looks like a tunnel to me, as I can see what looks like logs/wood supporting the dirt and bushes on top of it? Yes, it would be wonderful to actually know where it was located.

    I agree with Charlott, appears to be a tunnel

    Could this be the tunnel above Drano that was once or at a later date had a flume ? Kenn ?

    I thought the tunnel above Drano Lake was way above any roads. Isn't this it?: http://historichoodriver.com/index.php?showimage=2092

    There is definitely some wood framing above the road. I'm not sure if it's part of the flume or part of a tunnel, but it deepens the mystery.

    Looks like a covered bridge to me, and the flume crosses over it, or goes along side of it.
