Getting ready to depart Crescent Bar, just south of Trinidad, WA. We used a small barge about ten feet long and the small outboard boat seen here to tow the barge. A short, but exciting trip down river. In the background, you can see the old Trinidad Ferry. Spring 1959.

 

Looking west-north-west across the Columbia River from our starting point on Crescent Bar. Early Morning. Spring 1959.

 

Looking SE across Quilomene Rapids. Fall 1957.

 

Headquarters. Early morning with breakfast smoke rising from the stove pipe. The House Pit 15 excavation is just out of sight on the left. Gorge cut by overflow from the Potholes Reservoir can be seen on the other side of the Columbia River. Spring 1959.
