Photograph, from left to right, of Ade Bystle, Wilfrid Cline, Jr. and Harry Schmitz standing around the cars that are pulled to the side of the road en route to Trinity County. Wilfrid Cline, Jr. and Harry Schmitz are in the foreground, with their backs to the camera, working on fixing a flat tire on Ade Bystle's Ford. The car is viewed from the rear. Wilfrid Cline crouches down to the left of the rear tire; he faces slightly right. Another man (unknown) crouches down behind him. Harry Schmitz stands at center with his back to camera. He stands behind the tire as he pumps air into it. Ade Bystle stands in the near distance at left, in front of the car. His back is towards the camera as he appears to walk towards the horizon. Two men stand in shadow at right on the passenger side of the car. A dirt road stretches along the left side of the image. Tall pines stand in the background.
Text from negative sleeve: 1013. Trinity Co. trip 1917. En route between Redding and Trinity Center. We had Ade Bystle along with a Ford car and the Sheriff of Shasta Co. or maybe it was Trinity County, and his jailor. They had continual tire trouble all the way. Ade Bystle in front of car, Wilfrid Cline Jr stooping down, and Harry Schmitz pumping up a tire. 1 film
