Arnold's Story: Oregon

Some undated photos from circa 1945–1948. Two are from Multnomah Falls, Oregon, so I suppose the others could be from Oregon as well, since Arnold's friend appears to be in the same clothes as in the Multnomah photo. If these pictures are from 1945, Arnold and his friend might have been on leave; but with Arnold in civilian clothes in the first photo, these might instead be later — perhaps summer 1948, when Arnold mentions having visited Oregon during his time working for the McCloud Lumber Company, though Multnomah Falls is another four and an half hour drive beyond Medford, Oregon, which according to the letter he had visited with a big group. However, he does not mention seeing the Multnomah waterfalls in that correspondence.

I do not know if this postcard is related to the trip to Multnomah:
