17:30 "-Mt. St. Helens displaying ancient lava flows from the adolescent period of the northwest..." Fast-forward 30 years and those lava flows won't be ancient!
Fast forward and that image is significantly altered. It's wild to look at and think, "Dang! The Cascades are really a chain of volcanoes that have erupted before and will do so again.
The best times in my life growing up in Washington were spent picking and enjoying the freshest produce! Like apples🍎🍏, raspberries, Bing and Rainier cherries 🍒, green beans, huckleberries, boysen berries and hazelnuts. Most of which could be found growing wild!😋❤
3:10 Portland looks so small back in the 50's. Now, there's expensive apartment buildings going up everywhere. Back then, the Pearl District was just railyards.
Ah! Yes! Tillamook Cheese @11:46. Some of my earliest childhood memories was from a family visit to that processing facility in the 1950s. I recall being a cool, damp, overcast morning; with a long outdoor conveyor belt of milk cans being moved from trucks into the building. I vividly recall the processing vats of stirring milk with the stench emanating from the process; very unappetizing. I guess sanitation wasn't much of an issue back then, as the touring visitors could walk by those open vats just several feet away. At the end of the tour the visitors could sample the various cheeses Tillamook offered. I recall various styles of cheeses were displayed in a glass case identical to what you'd see at grocers' meat market section; where Tillamook employees, dressed like meat market butchers, would access the cheeses of the visitors' choosings; slicing the samples for the visitors to taste.
I remember people telling me about how they used to do the tours then. I think it was around ‘67 or ‘68 they stopped due to health and safety concerns.
Why bring politics into this? The rail passage still exists. All of it. It’s known as the Empire Builder. Chicago to Portland and then Portland to Seattle. Scenery is still there too, and as pretty as ever. And the Empire Builder is an ansolutely gorgeous train.
Union Pacific had their own in-house film production department and their productions, like this, were all first rate! Gee, maybe I can find a film copy of this someday.
@@nikmills you know I am 1000s of miles from Portland, living in W. Europe and witnessing the same festivities around here. Have we all been scr3wed by the same kind of people?
