Among the most notable figures to own a personal resort in Klamath County was railroad magnate Edward Henry Harriman, seen at center in this photo taken in Klamath Falls. Others in the picture were not identified. Harriman purchased a parcel with a cabin near Rocky Point, and spent several weeks there with his family in the summer of 1908. Among his guests in August 1908 was naturalist John Muir. Harriman conducted railroad business during his vacation, communicating with his associates by telegraph. The Southern Pacific Railroad, of which Harriman was president, was building a line toward Klamath Falls in 1908. The line reached here in 1909, and Harriman died later that same year at the age of 61.

The Prospector Newspaper - Jan 8, 1898 - Contractor Martin Anderson is at work night and day on the Estella with four as good miners as can be found in East Kootenay,-—Joe Watkins, Duncan Brander, Evan Christian and Chris, Christend. They are in about 160 feet with the tunnel.
The Silvertonian Newspaper - Sep 10, 1898, Last week a report gained currency around Nelson to the effect that a rich strike of placer gold had been made on Rover creek, which flows into the Kootenay River near Slocan Junction, about 15 miles, from the city. Several parties went out to investigate and returned with reports of rich finds. The Spokesman-Review correspondent visited the scene of operations yesterday and found the creek alive with prospectors and the ground staked for fully four miles up. There are over 200 locations of 100 feet square already made. The Discovery claim was located on the west fork of Rover creek August 23rd, 1898 by Martin Anderson, George W. Madden and Wash. C. Miller, three prospectors who had been over the ground dozens of times before. While going along the river bed they found a small nugget. They began to pan and succeeded at a depth of two feet in getting values to the extent of $1.00 per pan. On almost every claim located good colors have been found.
Nelson Daily Miner Newspaper - Jan 26, 1901 - Yesterday's mining records were: Transfers - In a claim on Wild Horse Creek, by Sol Johns to T.H. O'Brien. Locations - Invincible on Slocan river, one mile from the railroad, by George Bourgeois; the Copper Queen, near Slocan Junction by John W. Moore and Martin Anderson.

The Curlew is seen here along the west shore of Upper Klamath Lake, about where Southshore Lane is located today. This 36-foot steamer was constructed in 1908 by local boat builder H.C. Telford at Odessa, a community located about 25 miles northwest of Klamath Falls. In the early 1900s, transportation to various points around the lake was most easily made by boat. At one point Curlew was transferred from the upper lake to Lake Ewauna. The curlew carried passengers and mail for perhaps 20 years before being idled by the advent of highway travel.
Located in southeastern British Columbia Canada.
This post card reads on the back:
Brown bear begging for tidbits in Kootenay National Park. This is a familiar sight to travelers in the park and one that never fails to amuse young and old. Although for the most part harmless, it is nevertheless unwise to take chances with bears.
Gee... ya think?
I believe the Pontiac is a 1950.
Thanks to Lila23 for helping me find this. It's a couple of blocks behind the GEC, which is most certainly NOT a touristy area. based on the pics in the letters, As of 2007, this is anywhere between 3 to 15 years old.
N = the Old Country Music Hall of Fame - now gone.
AS = Parthenon
V = Andrew Jackson Statue - At that angle, you'd have the capitol in the background.
ILLE = General Jackson showboat, I guess.
The thumbtacks are painted on, and the one in the bottom left corner has a painted shadow.

6x4 lives challenge - November. Hand needlefelted wooltops and knobbly fibres. I enjoyed doing this today as a change from Christmas pictures (and eating!).
I believe a Alco RS2 road switcher. locomotive, This is the locomotive shown in the pic. of the Nicholai St. RR crossing. It looks like a small building there.
A cluster of cottages opened south of Klamath Falls in the late 1940s as Bratton's Motel, under the management of Willard T. and Lillian Mann. The motel took on Mann's name in the 1950s, when this post card was created. At that time the motel enjoyed a prime location at the Ashland-Weed Junction on Highway 97. In the late 1950s the name was changed to the Braecrest Motel, a name that stuck for many years. In later years it was also known as the Olympic Lodge Motel. Today the old motel, featuring duplex units constructed of concrete blocks with carports for each room, is the home of Turtle Cove, a transitional housing program for women.

This is another photo, taken last year at the Garden of the Gods Park outside of Colorado Springs. The rock formations are wonderful; at times, the drama of the sky is amazing as the Garden abut the Rocky Mountains. The day I took this picture, though, the sky was flat and colorless. Thus . . . I used a sky out of extras in PPS9, and refined the edges using the Perfect Brush, the Refine Brush, and the Chisel tool. Once done, back to LR and a VSCO preset with adjustments to reduce color and work until the colors worked together. For me, the best results were somewhat odd, but in looking at them, they became to resemble post cards from the 50s and 60s because of the colors – not quite right, but expressive of the environment. Rather pleased with this one.
Named for Princess Alexandra, the dock opened on 16 July 1885. It was built by the controversial Hull & Barnsley Railway in an effort to challenge the regional monopoly held by North Eastern Railways. This eastern terminus facilitated the exportation of coal originating from the collieries of South Yorkshire, as well as recieving timber pit props imported from Scandanavia. An extension to the dock was added in 1899.
