In 1968
Paint your Wagon was filmed in the mountains east of Baker City.
A whole town was built there and later blown up at the end of the
movie. George Gildersleeve
contributed the pictures and information
George had taken Conrad Allen (leaning
on the right) with me. Conrad was John's dad and they had the
farm/ranch that John Bootsma now has. Anyway, the director, Josh
Logan on the left saw me with him and took my camera from my and had
an aide take our picture with him. The other gentleman - serious now
- was a real pleasant guy.
I was on the school board at the time so was able to use the gym
which is now middle school on Broadway. Clint Eastwood, his driver
who played basketball at UCLA, the third director and my team of
Doug Humphress and another would play 3 on 3 basketball several
times a week.

| These were some of the
standins and stuntmen - all horsemen. The guy on the
left was Clint Eastwood's standin and stuntman. They
were all down to earth gents. Eastwood's standin had his
family with him as did many others. He took advantage of
the location and packed into the Wallowa's on one or
more occasions. (The buildings you see in the background
are part of the city that was built for the movie) |
