In 1924 the location was called Knott while Southern Pacific built the Cascade Line.  When the line was opened to traffic in 1926 the location became Chemult.  A post office by that name was opened the same year.</div> <div>   In the 1950's we hunted mule deer in the Walker Rim area just east of here.  I could see the Walker Mountain lookout as we passed, but no longer recognized the access roads we used to use.  This is where I developed a life-long fondness for Ponderosa pine trees. </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&formtype=address&popflag=0&latitude=&longitude=&name=&phone=&level=&cat=&address=&city=chemult&state=OR&zipcode=" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?sea"><U>Area Map</U></A>  </div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="58080e00.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <div> There is not a lot at Chemult, but we bought a good ice cream cone and a cold drink here and had to wait in line.  That is Glennette's SUV parked in the left of the photo still sporting her "John Kerry for President" bumper sticker(in 2006).  That girl does not give up easily!</div> <bR> </td> <td valign="top" width=150 BGCOLOR="#0066CC" TEXT="#080000"> <div> .<IMG SRC="58080e00.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> </td> </tr></table></body>
