Photograph, of Harry Schmitz (left) posing next to H. H. West's Buick that is parked along a street in Red Bluff (in Tehama County), where they stop during their trip to Trinity County. Harry Schmitz stands left-of-center and looks to the camera. He stands to the left of the Buick's rear. The Buick (partial view) is viewed from the side; it faces to the right with the front of the car extending beyond the right edge of the image. Wilf Cline (right) sits in the backseat and turns his head to look back towards the camera. Camping gear is rigged to the back of the vehicle. In the background, a couple buildings stand on the far side of the street behind H. H. West's Buick and Harry Schmitz. At left, a five-and-dime store stands. A car (partial view) is parked in front of it at left and a woman walks towards the right beneath the store's portico. A vertically oriented sign on one of its columns reads, "5 · 10 · 15 ¢ STOR[E]." A taller building stands to the right. At the top of the building, lettering in the pediment reads, "IO OP 18 88."
