Government Camp Hotel 1919

1505H-01. The first vehicle to climb Mt. Hood and reach Government camp in 1919 was this Chevrolet truck. It arrived on April 1, after bucking snow from Toll Gate to Government camp for ten days through snow 2 to 11 feet deep. This lopped eight days off the previous record of April 9, made by a Mitchell car in 1915. Government Camp, April 1, 1919. (story published in Oregonian, April 6, 1919, pg. 6)
