Sharon It was filmed the sumer of of 66 and aired the spring of 67. I had just graduated from the 8th grade at the Mill-A grade school and a few weeks latter the movie production came to the Willard mill. It was really something to watch it being filmed. When it was aried though and all the clips put togeather it didn't resemble the actual place or the Broughton Lumber Company.

Thank you so much for this!! Wish they could have turned it into a ride as someone proposed. I have some of the wood from the flume milled into deck railing. It's a bit rough in places, but I prize it for the history.

So the titles say 1967, but the copyright on the film actually says 1974. Anyone know exactly when this filmed and aired? I do remember it was a big deal, but don't remember the exact year.

@@williamdawkins1724 all the loggers I knew (including my father) were still wearing them in the late 1980’s, we all lived in Hood River, OR at the time. My uncle was killed in ‘75 in WA state while wearing one, it was kinda smashed up. I remember my grandfather still had it for years.

They made that flume boat just for this film, and after that the kids wanted to ride it so bad. A few actually got to, and in the Gorge Heritage Musuem in Bingen we have a couple pics of the filming process and the crowd watching. We also have a little card saying "This certifies that ____ has ridden the flume and is a member in good standing of FLUMERS UNITED "In Trestles we Trust" ~ Hal Broughton, President." It was card number 109. Can you imagine what OSHA would say in this day and age? LOL... We also have a photo of Charlie the Cougar on the flume. Pretty cool stuff!
