A Snowy Spring Day
at Government CampA Snowy Spring Day
at Government Camp
The big flakes pelted down at Government Camp, high on Oregon's Mt. Hood. The view marched into obscurity. Sounds were soft and muted. I felt that fresh sense and a calm descend upon me. Nearby were warmth and comfort if I needed them. The Huckleberry Inn*, Govy General Store, the Bakery above the Ratskeller, Mt. Hood Brewing Company, and of course the classic ski venues like Valians Ski Shop.
Reading Resource about the history of the Mt. Hood area and the Mountain itself-- "Mount Hood, A Complete History," by Jack Grauer, copyright 1975, 300 pages, format is 8 1/2 x 11 inches softbound. Book Advisors included Northwest luminaries like Nicholas Dodge, Dr. Cameron Bangs, Fred Beckey, Ed Johann, Richard Kohnstamm, Laurita Leuthold, Donald Onthank, and a long list of others. Highly recommended, highly illustrated and comprehensive. This book does not note a publisher.......A much earlier resource is the classic work by Fred McNeil in 1937, "WyEast, the Mountain."
