Santa Ynez Creek, July 4, 1919. Al Schmitz and I decide to go to Santa Ynez creek, over the grade from Gaviota to fish Santa Ynez, and also Santa Cruz where a man named Olds from Oxnard told me was fine fishing. We get a map of the location from a furniture dealer in Santa Barbara, a customer of Al's. We go in Al's Buick runabout; got stuck in the Santa Ynez River and had to camp at Paradise Flat. 1. The Buick stuck fast in the Santa Ynez. We had to undress and unload it and build a track with rocks to get back out and camped right there. Al Schmitz taking off his shoes. 2. We get out and make camp. Al Schmtiz and my miner's tent. 3. Our camp and Al Schmitz. Nice place. 4. Al Schmitz at the stove. That is my camp outfit. Never found Santa Cruz. 4 films
