Photo Caption:
This is the second of only two known photos of Robert Gerlof taken on Tillamook Rock. Gerlof had a serious aversion to any photos being taken of him and once purposely tried to dash a cameraman on the rocks in the derrick basket in hopes of destroying his camera when he thought his photo had been taken unawares.
