They left the sternwheeler and packing three children their belongings and camera equipment they secured a camping spot. However their daughter Norma climbed on an old stump to get a better view and “put her foot in a yellow-jacket nest and the way she climbed down from there and screamed was enough to bring everyone from the other camps . . . we fought yellow-jackets and ran a half mile to keep up with Norma.†The family does manage to find an abandoned house to camp in manage their breakfast and then hike and travel along the rim into Oneonta Gorge and decided later to return back home “on account of Elvah’s back.â€Reck records one of his many photo shoot excursions when on April 3 1910 he takes off with fellow enthusiast and machinist Ed Leppert to take photos at Cazadero OR at the time a stop on the Estacada Interurban Railway Line of the PRL&P Co. catching Train No 62 shot logging pictures below Boring OR and then fishing near the Clackamas River at Eagle Creek OR.

Bert writes they secured a “Furnished Tent†for $ 7.00 for the week and began shooting photos along the beach of the bathers the ocean the Hotel Moore and the breakers and did some crab fishing. One of the days the sun was out so Ed and Bert “loaded up our stereo camera & tripod and started down the beach.†They trekked along the sand and rocks “watched a number of porpoises or ‘sea hogs’ sporting in the Ocean a short distance off shore. . . and wished for a telephoto lens.†By the time the pair had lugged their camera to the lighthouse the fog had rolled in obscuring the scenery. Elva Reck 1877-1955 according to census records and street directories had opened a “Racket Store†by 1920 which she operated for a few years. Bert Reck 1877-1972 had moved his family from Ohio by 1903 where he began a lifelong career as a streetcar motorman as well as shooting and selling photos of hikes on Mt.
