I do remember our family traveling all over the state and using some of those old ferries in the mid fifties. Have also been on the Scholls ferry in Portland and the one over to the Puget island in the Columbia and the Astoria-Megler ferry several times. Dad was the minister of the United Churches of Olympia and had four weeks vacation and mom did the planning.We were usually on the road for the whole four weeks and the seven of us traveled all over the western U.S. A lot of it was in Wa and northern Id. I remember my little brother riding on the shelf in the back window of the '55 DeSoto.
