Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of the McClellan, West, Stavnow and Velzy party campsite which sits at the foot of a large tree that stands in the center of the image. To the left of the tree, there are two tents. In front of and to the right of the tree, the group's three cars are parked. A man changes a tire on the car that sits parked in front of the central tree. A young boy stands left of him and looks on. Spare tires lean against the rear tire of the automobile. A woman (possibly Minnie West) walks through camp behind the same automobile. She stands between one of the tents and the large tree. To the left, a girl (possibly Elizabeth West) stands between the two tents. Trees run horizontally along the back edge of the campsite. Beyond the trees, two large mountains rise from center towards the left and right. Text from negative sleeve: Convict Lake, Calif. 1915. Ted McClellan, Charlie Stavnow in Stavnow's Dodge car. Glen Velzy and wife Bessie, in Buick runabout. H.H.West, wife, mother and two daughters in Buick Touring car. We were able to go right thru to the lake and camp on the creek close to where it came from the lake. Ted McClellan had his boy along. Also shipped his canvas canoe to Bishop on train and he and Stavnow brot[sic] it up to the lake on the back of the car. Our camp at the foot of a big tree.
