Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph article dated December 10, 1948 partially reads, "No one need drive far to find a picnickers’ paradise. Back in the far reaches of Pacoima Canyon, less than 20 miles from San Fernando, lies a small spring-fed pool where sportsmen may catch their limit in rainbow trout and fry them with crisp bacon over a camp fire. We took the long way around to reach this hidden nook, which is operated by Mrs. Nels Walters and her son, G. W. Walters, former member of the U. S. Army Air Force.” Photograph caption reads, "Week-end picknickers seek grove of trees. Giant, age-old oaks dot remote Pacoima Canyon beauty spot.”; See image #00129910 for additional photo in this series.
