Thank you for the wonderful vintage Oregon postcards for the PaperCutz July WTA. All of the Oregon scenes are familiar to me except the church in Scappoose, even though I did live there in the 50s, I seeing it. I have camped at Silver Creek Falls and enjoy both the Columbia Gorge and Oregon coast. So, these are nice choices for my collection. Thank so much.
