Now Rodeo Drive-In storage @ 252 NW Loop Rd, White Salmon, WA 98672.
The concession still stands behind the main building. Some ramps are visible.
Please update.
Boxoffice, July 11, 1953: “WHITE SALMON, WASH. – The new White Salmon Drive-In here is tentatively scheduled to open August 15. The drive-in is owned by G. E. Prestebak and Norman Johnson and will have a capacity of 300 cars.”
Boxoffice, Sept. 19, 1953: “Norman Johnson and Bud Prestebak have opened the new Rodeo Drive-In”
This is another one where the concession building still stands, looks like its used as a shed? Also directly opposite the old drive-in site is the appropriately named Rodeo Drive-In Storage.

Could the Rodeo Drive-In be in neighboring White Salmon? Approx. address 260 NW Loop, White Salmon (Google). It goes back to at least 1959 on the topo maps and is clearly seen in a 1980 Photo of the area. Today, it appears to be private property, but you can still see the shape of the drive-in clearly. https://goo.gl/maps/c1rus
