Mäletate filmi, kus Jack Nicholsoni kehastatud hullunud kirjanik oma perekonda kirvega taga ajab? The Shining? Overlook Hotel? Stanely Kubrick? No vot. Mõnede Overlook hotelli ekserjööri-võtete tarvis kasutas Kubrick Timberline Lodge'i - meie kodust ca poolteist tundi autosõitu põhja suunas.

The 1980 movie – The Shining – used aerial shots of Timberline Lodge as part of its opening scene, and exterior footage for some establishing shots of the fictional Overlook Hotel throughout the movie. It takes a bit more than an hour to get there, from our home.

Everything is XL size in Timberline Lodge. I went there a bit biased, expecting to see another log cabin with animal heads staring down on me from the walls. But! Got an artistic experience instead - the whole place with all it's history, craftsmanship and ambience is simply awesome.
Pole siis ime, et Oregonis suvelgi suusatada saab.

Materials costs were minimized by the skillful use of recycled materials. Women wove draperies, upholstery and bedspreads, and hooked rugs were made from strips of old Civilian Conservation Corps camp blankets. Fireplace screens were fashioned from tire chains. Andirons and other iron work was forged from old railroad tracks. Workers used large timbers and local stone from the site.
