This 1960s home movie, entitled "Our Summer Vacation", was shot by an unknown American family. It unwinds dreams of the American countryside; long drives through the Oregon Cascades Mountain ranges and family vacations. It sends viewers deep into Deschutes County, Oregon for a dip in clear lakes; Elk, Lava and Devil. The Pacific NW’s varied landscape slopes over rolling neon greens, jagged rock formations of Three Sisters, the Cascades, Cathedral Rock and long country roads with names stuck like Yellow Elk Lane. The opening portion features the family fishing Oregon’s lakes and milling the Deschutes National Forest and campgrounds. Later sections tour Picture Rock petroglyphs, Pelton Hydroelectric Project water dam, Cove Palisades State Park and the Painted Hills.

Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you.
