Crossing of 5 stream on the North Fork Skokomish, on the abandoned "Oneil trail". First is drawing from boy scout pamphlet describing the route, drawn in mid-1980s is my guess, second from my trip there a couple years back.

This is a really thread. Thanks, Tom!

Well, not quite a century, but this is the best I could come up with. It's two pictures of Rainier from the Sunrise area; one my father took in August 1941 and one I took in August 2005.
Unfortunately, they aren't quite from the same vantage points. Maybe next summer, I'll go back and see if I can recreate the 1941 scene more closely.

Suggested by Tom from a trip report:
 These shots are of my wife and my grandmother at almost the identical spot on the Mt. Pilchuck trail, 71 years apart.

The only difference I can see Angry Hiker is the lack of poodles in the 1913 photo.

For Geobob's pix...The first thing that went thru my head was "in the new pic of the glacier with a squirrelly tail, the ice we see today, where was that ice on the MT in the 41 picture?"
Obviously no one knows, but its pretty cool to wonder how far up the MT the 2005 ice was in 1941. What is it like an inch per year or something like that? |

A lot of you have already been to the upper Del Campo mine. I hadn't been in Gothic Basin since 1973 and wasn't even aware of the mines at that time. I thought someday I might get back to mimic the old shots. Looks like I missed by a couple feet. :shrug:
