A tent stands pitched at left with a rope extending from its top and attaching to the hood ornament on the car parked at right. H. H. West's Cadillac is parked at right and is viewed mostly from the side. A fishing rod rests against the front of the car. The remnants of a fire pit sits on the ground in front of and between the tent and the Cadillac. Elizabeth West stands in the background behind the tent and the car. Low, rolling hills stand in the distance. Text from negative sleeve: 629. Laguna Beach - Arch Beach, about 1921. Our camp at Arch Beach, with my Cadillac in the rear. Elizabeth and Frances West slept in the tent, Wilf Cline and I outside. One night a skunk got into the tent and the girls made a great outcry until I got a flash light and saw the skunk in the tent. They practically stopped breathing. The skunk sneaked out when I went around to the other side of the tent and made a noise against the tent. There were other campers on the side of the hill above Arch Beach. A picture of the place. 2 negatives
