Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. A blurry photograph of the West-Schmitz-Stavnow-Cole party campsite near Hilton Creek. The campsite is bounded by a tent at left, boulders at center and H. H. West's Cadillac on the right. A member of the camping party bends over the camp stove in front of the boulders just right-of-center. Charles Stavnow stands at right in front and to the left of the Cadillac with his back to the camera. The Cadillac is viewed from the front at an angle. In the distance at right, a snow-covered mountain stands. Text from negative sleeve: Hilton Creek, Calif. About 1920. Al Schmitz, Charlie Stavnow, Elmer Cole, H.H.West, with H.H.West's Cadillac. We camped in the rocks where Hilton Creek crossed the old lower road close to Owens River. Snow all around us. Bitter cold, and very windy. We put up a tarpaulin between the rocks to break the wind so as to have a fire to cook. Stavnow went thru the snow to his arm pits on the bank of Magee Creek. 2 views of the camp. Charlie Stavnow fishing in Convict creek on the meadow. Charlie Stavnow with two fine trout out of Convict creek. 4 films.
