Text from negative sleeve: 1034. Trinity County trip, 1917. Two views of our camp on McCloud River near its source, about 15 or 20 miles east of McCloud. On a level grassy bench right on the river, with big logs around us. The surrounding country had been cut overm [sic] burnt over and abandoned. An old saw mill close by was falling into ruin. We saw only one party in our two day stay here and they only stopped to eat lunch. A swell camp. Harry Schmitz is standing by the logs in one view. 2 films.
