A grassy pathway runs through the center of the image towards the campsite. A car is parked on each side of the pathway in the foreground. The wheel of one car is visible on the right and the rear end of another car enters the frame at left. Albert Schmitz walks in the near distance at center with his back to the camera. He carries something in one hand as he approaches the campsite. The campsite sits among the trees in the near distance. A tent stands behind a tree, left-of-center, and a tarp hovers above and in front of it. A clothesline and a tire are in the camp at right. Another tent stands at left and is obscured by the shrubbery. Beyond the trees, a mountain rises in the far distance. Text from negative sleeve: 1072. Silver Lake trip 1914. 1.
