Do you recall the popcorn wagon at Celilo Falls in the 1950s?

My grandfather and I used to sell popcorn, hot dogs and pop at Celilo Falls in the fiftys before the Falls were flooded. We sold these item out of a Dodge van that he made a popcorn wagon out of. We would drive from Portland on Friday and stay until Sunday. We slept in the popcorn wagon and I can remember the roar of the river and the drum from the bone game that was held near by. I have been looking for a picture of the area with the popcorn wagon in it. The color of the wagon was white. If you know of such a picture please contact me.

Thanks,
