I am 61 now and was living in San Diego during the Viet Nam war when Paint Your Wagon came out. It is one of my all time favorites. While riding home from work today with 5 others I mentioned that the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was in the movie. Everyone said "No, they are not that old" So, had to Google it and found your site. Great site! Thks

Nice to stumble upon your PYW pages. I was actually hunting for an old friend that I met on the set of the movie: Tracy Baker is his name.
Anyway, I was one of the first 20 extras hired at the very beginning of the shoot. We got $25 a day plus a meal. We also rec'd permission from the producer to camp -out of sight- above the 'tent city' set, so we didn't have to come in from Baker.
Worked there all summer. A very nice experience

Beautiful pictures, Oregon is truly God's Country!! I am a native Oregonian (Southern Oregon) and love this state. My great grandparents homesteaded in the Pacific Northwest and I will forever be thankful they heeded the call (from Pennsylvania and Minnesoto) to "Go West". If I want snow, I'd rather drive to Mt. Hood than have it on my doorstep.
My husband and I love the beaches now, great for day trips. When we were young, we often camped around Central Oregon. We have been just about everywhere in Oregon except the Steens Mountains.

Hello. I can't believe how many people are as into this movie as I am. I can't even tell you how many times I've watched it. It's like an escape for me. I love the characters and the singing and drinking. I somehow take myself back the that time and place whenever I watch it. This movie has so many funny spots like "Whats a fornicator?? I don't know, I'm not a religious man". its so great! And the Parson. What a character. "Yer go'in to HELL!!" I love all the songs, mostly when Rotten Luck Willie (Harv Presnell) sang, They Call the Wind Maria. Its shortly after that when I saw Elizabeth (Jean Seberg) for the first time. Whenever I watch PYW, I can remember laying on the floor in front of the TV and watching the whole movie. It's so wierd how the same thoughts and feelings come back to me no matter how many times I watch it. The first time I saw PYW, I was about 8 or 9 yrs old then and I remember how much I liked Elizabeth back then. I think thats why I married a blonde. I just love this movie and I hope I can someday make it to the sight and camp out there for a few days. I'm sure it'll be just great.

Paint Your Wagon is one of my all-time favorite movies. Because I, too, was born under a wandering star, I hopped a plane to Boise and drove to Baker City to find the location where the movie was filmed almost 40 years ago.
I was late getting into Baker City, so I decided to stay for the night. I was able to get last-minute reservations at the Geiser Grand Hotel. Much to my surprise, I found that the cast of PYW stayed at this hotel part of the time while filming. The next morning I got an early start, and drove out to the site.
Using clear, yet untried directions from your PYW Web site, I began my journey. The scenery in and around Baker City was hilly, dry, and peppered with tumbleweed. I couldn’t imagine the lush scenery that I remember from the movie could be so close by. Never the less, with paper instructions, a 4x4, and my friend Magellan (I’ll explain this later) I drove off.
The driving instructions that I pulled from your site proved to be invaluable. I think, though, attached to those instructions should be a caution that the roads are dangerous and, at times, are nothing more than a goat trail. (Parts of Eagle Creek in particular). I do suspect that since these roads are gravel, they have no winter maintenance. There are no guide rails, many hairpin turns, and embankments that, if you slid off, you would never be found. I would never do this road in the rain, in snow, or at dark. Once in the valley, however, you are standing in the middle of the movie.
When I found the meadow, it was marked with a sign indicating the location where PYW was filmed, and two rough access paths running toward the creek. I had no idea why they were there. While I expected to find nothing, I did find that the clean up of the site was incomplete. They likely hauled out what was on the surface, and bulldozed the rest. The creek has also eroded the bank – much more than it had. The uneven surface makes it a little difficult to walk down there, but you can see some exposed foundations of what was probably the brothel.
As you may recall from the movie notes, when the town collapsed in the last scene, it was really pulled down by cables. Sure enough, there are some exposed hooks and eyes secured to pulling cable – block and tackle type. (Be careful walking around that area – and do not drive it as there are subsidence’s in the ground, I assume old tunnels, and pieces of exposed rebar which you could drive over or trip on).
As a suggestion, it would be great to have a map on your site to print out to use as a building guide. Unfortunately, I had to go by memory.
Before heading back to the airport, I felt comfortable enough to ditch the written instructions, and rely on my GPS, Magellan. I asked for the shortest route back, not the best route. That damn route nearly killed me! The road surface was large pieces of loose shale, not gravel, and the narrow road had doughnut turns rather than hairpin. The only saving grace was that you could spot another vehicle approaching by the fierce plume of road dust that it kicked up. Dramamine was invented for roads like this. As it turned out, I was rerouted back to Baker City. I went to the local museum, and I was surprised to see a diorama of the No Name City. The film studio apparently spent $70,000 on the model which they eventually turned over to Baker City once they were finished with it. If I had only seen it prior to my trip, it would have helped me identify landmarks easier. Perhaps you could make a map from it or scan it somehow?
From the diorama I learned that those two access points were the original roads leading from the current Eagle Creek Road leading into No Name City. Using them with a map would make a good reference.
Since I have managed to make a short story long, I thought about this idea once I reached stable ground. Since the 40th anniversary of the filming is in Summer 2009, the “unofficial” PYW fan club/ audience should camp on site for a week or so and relive the filming of one of the greatest movie ever filmed. What do you think of that?

I think your web sight is great. I worked on the film "Paint Your Wagon" as a electrician and a actor.
Name: John Fisher
HI there, I came across your site when I typed in "Paint Your Wagon" on google. I must say I love your pictures. Especially your ones of Anthony Lakes and Baker County. I'm originally from Pendleton, but am a college student at the University of Idaho. My grandparents won property up by Sumpter, and actually met some of the cast when they were filming. That area is truly my favorite place in the world. Thank you for capturing the beauty of the area.
I like to look at pictures of Oregon because my publisher Wipf and Stock is in Oregon and because I have a little book Heaven on Earth (not by them) with pictures of the painted hills.
Name:
Great website...I first saw Paint Your Wagon in Prince Rupert, British Columbia when I was a kid with my cousin Mark Burley, on our way to S. Eastern AK, on board the 40ft Big Skookum that I worked on as a kid with Vern Morgus, who took me in while my dad was in Phan Rang, Vietnam. MyGod, we ALL laughed so hard...little place called the Totem Theatre. It created such fond childhood memories that many yrs later I would give my only child the name "Mariah", after the beautiful ballad in this very unique picture that was such a departure for the two leading men who starred in it. I saw the movie in the summer of '71 when I was around eleven or twelve. Many summers past...and I was afforded the chance to meet Mr. Eastwood, if only for a moment, and he seemed a very gracious, friendly person. Thanks for a place to post and read memories!
I remember some Hippies coming from the south that could only use a x to sign the tab they ran at the little store by my house. The Rayburns ran the store and gave credit to a lot of the Hippies that came to town. And everyone payed up. My Mom was a friend of the Justice of the Peace and went with him to perform a wedding. What a big deal that was, Everyone high on LSD. She had never seen anything like it. We also had a naked hippy on LSD in our frount yard. What a big deal that movie was in Baker
Hi, glad to find something on Paint Your Wagon. I was one of those Hippies in the movie. I had just finished doing another film withe Elvis Presley called Double Trouble. I was in my home town Walla Walla when I found out about the filming of Paint Your Wagon in Baker, Oregon. So I headed up to the site and got a job in the film. I have many stories to tell about the film as you can imagine, we spent the summer camping right there on the set. I haven't been back since but have many happy memories of that time and place. I asm planning to organize a reunion for cast,crew, and fans in 2008 here in Walla Walla as it will be the 40th anniversary. And hopin to do the same next year for the Elvis picture I was in. I have been a Professional Photographer here in Walla Walla and Hollywood for the past 40 years. Maybe we could get together and make it happen. Many thanks, Steve Allen
INSPIRATIONAL
I LOVE THIS PAGE. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Great site. Anything to keep the memory of that great movie alive is ok by me. My goal is to someday visit the site and drink a toast to Ben Rumson.
The best movie of all time in my book. I miss the Westerns,gone for good!
Yea,its true,four of us Barry,Rocky(his 60 Corvette, Chuck and I rode up from Portland smashed in that topless Vet to be Extras in that movie. It rained most of the time we were there but we all were costumed an given our roles. I was cast as a "Dandy" with a shirt previously used by Ray Milland. Chuck and I were kicked out of the "Stars" Food tent by Lee Marvin, what a grouch! I stumbled once into the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band rehersing in a small temporary building - they were great even way back then. Barry said he was filmed as an extra in the movie. There are so many extras in the picture that I have yet to see him. I got sick and threw-up for three days in a wet tent before giving up and moochin a ride back home. That was one of many adventures we had back in the day. Now we need the "Mud Farm" stories!
What eye pleasure..good photos

The pics are wonderful. My Mother was raised in Baker City (class of 1942), and moved to Portland to work in the WWII shipyards. Her maiden name was Mary Davidson. My middle daughter has lived there for almost four years and loves the quiet of a small town.
The beauty in all parts of Oregon leaves me breathless, we are indeed lucky citizens.

I love it all, the coast for its rugged landscape and beautiful ocean. The Willamettee Valley for the farms which grow and raise the food we eat. Central Oregon for the high desert vistas. Eastern Oregon has mountains that shine in the snow with valleys full of ranches providing meat and produce. What a wonderful state, the other 49 have their magnificent vistas and I love visiting them! But living here is my life.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures & taking me down memory lane. My first visit to Oregon was for work in the summer of 1986 when I flew in into Baker City from California as part of a wildland fire management incident team. Started out at Anthony Lakes & Sumpter. Sure looks even more beautiful when its not on fire. Worked with some really wonderful people in my 3 week stay and saw some awesome country. 20 years later and I now live in Western Oregon!

I have cherished this movie since I was in my college days in 1970s. Unfortunately, this movie is not available at any of the VCD/DVD shops in India or in the Far East.
But I have the audio CD for the songs and I keep listening to them often.
The song WANDERIN STAR is my favourite amongst the other songs.
This website is beautiful and gives the movie a sort of historical respect and greatness. Whoever photographed these sites - you've done a very good job at preserving the heritage of this wonderful movie. Whoever made this movie and the songs - THREE CHEERS TO THEM !!

I stepped off the Union Pacific City of Portland passenger train in July of 1963 to begin a two year assignment with the US Air Force there in Baker (they didn't call it "Baker CITY" in those days). It was about 2 AM so I spent my first night at the Baker Hotel which cost around 5 dollars. I'm glad they have preserved a lot of the old buildings there. They bring back a lot of memories. My Air Force buddies and I had such a good experience there in this very friendly town and had so much fun exploring the surrounding area.
Once we helped fight a grass fire that broke out one afternoon in the hills west of town. It took a lot of people nearly all night to get it under control and saved some ranches.
They also asked some of us to help clear undergrowth for ski trails up at Anthony Lakes. The following winter they let us ski for free. That was fun.
These photos bring back a flood of wonderful memories of the town and all the friendly people. There is no place on earth like Baker County. Many thanks for sharing your fine work.

Nice site, very pretty photos.
I love the movie "Paint Your Wagon." The film premiered when I was in the 9th grade, and, according to 'expert' Hollywood critics, largely failed to live up to it's hype. Can't say that I entirely agree. In fact, I've never met anyone who doesn't absolutely love the film, and it's probably one of those that grows better with time. "Moriah" might well be one of the most beautiful songs ever sung, and "Wandering Star" isn't far behind. Great soundtrack in that movie. Thanks for sharing your site.

Roger,
Thanks for adding the Oregon Jamboree to your site. Many folks don't know that this three day country music festival is a volunteer run event. We are proud of this event and hope your guests will take a minute and look at the Jamboree web-site at www.oregonjambroree.com

Thank you very much for posting this page. I grew up all my young life in Baker. My parents still live there and my heart longs to see the Elkhorns:) I have tried to explain to my husband the Indian head in the mountains that casts it's shadow every winter and now he can see it for himself! Thanks again, Laura and Nathan Jenkins

Your website is wonderful. I am a native of Oregon and have seen much of the state, but I love your pics and would like to see some of the places that you picture. Some of those I haven't seen yet. Keep up the wonderful work. Thank you.

while watching the paint your wagon movie I thought the area was lake tahoe when I could see the ski runs on the mountain tops but went online and found your pictures that are great.....I spent time on the Illinois river in a place called Takilma outside of Klamath Falls in 1970 with my dog Rio and friends camping along the river and being totally awed by the beauty of your state,...being from Chicago originally it along with northern California convinced me to leave the concrete canyons and flatlands behind and only go east for no more than a week at a time or less,and stay within eight hours drive time from the Pacific Ocean and live on a mountain in the west wherit is the best....thanks for the pictures, Tom

Everywhere! Oregon is the most unique and diverse state (geographically speaking) I've been to. I am lucky to have been raised in a state that can boast beautiful oceanside scenery, Lush forests, and even barron dessert.

Roger,
You have a great gift ! You are such a wonderful photographer. I have really enjoyed your site. I even made wallpaper for my computer out of a few of your photos that struck me with awe. I think my favorite is Painted Hills in Southern Oregon. That one made me get rid of my hiccups from the "oh my God" gasp I made when I viewed it ! Thanks for sharing your art.
Your friend, Kitt

Wonderful photo journalism. Your photos tell a story, they are artwork. My father worked on the titles for the movie "Paint your Wagon". He died when I was only 13, so I hardly got to know him. Years later, through a series of fortunate events we moved to Richland, Oregon, not far from the site of the movie. We spent our youngest son's 6 yr birthday there.
All of it. We are really blessed to live in this beautiful state.
