Scenery: Rivers, Columbia River

 Matt Carmichael

This photo from Hood River History Museum might show the last time the Columbia River ever froze over in the Gorge, near Cascade Locks, I think. We would like to learn more; and also, does anyone know when the river last froze near The Dalles? When it did freeze, what was it like?

Contact Martin Gibson at 541-993-1801 or florag@gorgenews.com; we’ll print anything we learn, with permission from the storyteller, next week.
