An out-of-focus photograph, from left to right, of Ambrose Cline and H. H. West, Jr. sitting down in front of a low wall and eating a pie that had been given to them. Both boys sit facing towards the camera with the wall at their backs. Ambrose Cline looks to the camera while a pie plate sits balanced atop his knees. To the right of him, H. H. West, Jr. turns his head towards the left as he takes a bite of pie. He sits with his legs stretched out towards the camera; his pie plate rests on his lap. The low, stone wall enters the frame at right and extends just to the left of Ambrose. A stone column rises from the wall at right. On one of the stones, "YOUR" is written. Beyond the wall, 5 cabins stand in a row with the backs of the cabins facing towards the camera. In the far distance, brush-covered mountains rise.
