Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of pots and pans sitting atop the West and Mead party's camp stove in San Gabriel Canyon. The stove sits on the ground, under the shade of trees, at center. It is constructed of piled rocks on three sides and is open on one, which faces slightly right. Three pots and pans sit on a rack over the stove's fire pit. A pile of kindling sits to the right of the oven. Trees dot the land the stretches beyond the campsite and into the distance.
