Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of H. H. West's Cadillac 8 parked under a pine tree at his group's campsite near Rock Creek and Toms Place. The car is viewed at an angle from the front and the side. The front of the car is angled slightly towards the right. Two fishing poles rest against the front bumper and left wheel's fender. Its license plate reads, "273172." The pine tree stands behind the rear of the vehicle. A man stands with his back to the camera to the left of the rear of the vehicle. Between the man and the car, a tent is pitched. A hillside rises to the right of the car. Text from negative sleeve: 834. Rock Creek, Calif. About 1920. I had a Cadillac 8 and got Elmer Cole, who did my auto repairing, Charles Stavnow and Al Schmitz, and we went on a trout fishing trip to Tom's Place. At the foot of the grade on the first down grade beyond Sherwin Hill, we crossed the bridge, ran a little way up the grade toward Tom's Place and turned off the grade under a pine and made camp. We had very poor luck here. It was about the first of June, and very cold. We broke camp and went on over to Hilton Creek and made camp among the rocks there. L to R: Al Schmitz, Charles Stavnow and Elmer Cole at the car. 2 negatives
