Photograph, from left to right, of Al Schmitz and Wilfrid Cline, Jr. in their camp set up somewhere along Taboose Creek. In the near distance at right, Wilfrid Cline, Jr. stands with a rifle in front of the camp tent and looks to the camera. In front of him, a piece of canvas lies on the ground. Pots and pans sit on the ground to his left. In the near distance at left, Al Schmitz stands in front of the camp stove with his back to the camera. He appears to look downward as he raises a foot off the ground. The camp stove sits on the ground to the right of him and to the left of the pots and pans. Low trees and brush line the back edge of the camp in the background.
