History Mystery Photo The Dalles Chronicle July 25, 2004 page A5 [Text Only] Several folks were able to identify last week’s photo, an item from the Seufert collection at the Oregon Historical Society which is identified by the society as “December rime* frost – Mt. Hood from Tygh Ridge.” Darlene Hayes, George Armstrong and Velma Limmeroth all knew the correct answer. We like the way Velma Limmeroth put it in an e-mail: “The barn is on Center Ridge Road, between Easton Canyon Road and Long Hollow Road. It is what we call the Moore Place and belongs to Frances Limmeroth Trust. It was purchased by Al Limmeroth in the early 1960s. “Mount Hood stands proudly in the background.” * The American Heritage Dictionary, Third Edition 1992, rime (rim) n. Frost or a coating of granular ice, as on grass, and trees.
