Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of a couple of signs posted at the Eagle's Nest campground in the Emerald Bay area of Lake Tahoe. Two signs are posted at center. The smaller of the two sits at top, it reads, "EL DORADO NATIONAL FOREST EAGLES NEST PUBLIC CAMP GROUND ." Beneath it, a larger sign reads, "THIS PUBLIC CAMP GROUND IS MAINTAINED BY THE U.S. FOREST SERVICE IF IT HAS BEEN OF SERVICE TO YOU, SHOW YOUR APPRECIATION BY GUARDING AGAINST MUTILATION OF TREES OR IMPROVEMENTS. PUT OUT YOUR FIRE AND LEAVE YOUR CAMP CLEAN." Tall pines rise behind the signage and the top portion of a large tent stands behind the sign in the lower right corner. Text from negative sleeve: Lake Tahoe, Calif. about 1922. Our party in Harry Schmitz's Buick was Harry Schmitz, Al Schmitz and H.H.West. 1. We camped at the head of Emerald Bay at camp ground called "Eagle's Nest" and here is a picture of the signs by the camp. From this camp we looked right down on Emerald Bay and the little island in it. 1 film
