Distant view of the the Schmitz, Scullin and West party campsite. 4 tents stand in the distance. The tent on the left is obscured by a parked automobile. A large tree extends out of frame behind the large, white tent pitched on the right. A hillside occupies the background.
Five members of the West, Schmitz and Scullin camping party are gathered around their campsite near Convict Lake and cook up food. At left, a man stands and looks to camera with a towel or rag slung over his shoulder. To his right, a man smokes a cigar as he is crouched down near the stove that sits on the ground to his right. He tends to a pan on the stove top. Another man (maybe Jim Scullin) sits to the right of the stove. He looks to camera as he crouches down and holds a pan to the stove. The stove's stovepipe rises between them. Conrad Scullin stands behind the stove and to the right of the stovepipe. Standing on the far right, another man poses while holding a pan in one hand and a cigar in the other. Behind him, a tent stands. Mountains rise in the background.
Photograph, from left to right, of Elizabeth West and Bessie Velzy standing beneath a corner the canopy that covers the Velzy's sleeping quarters. They stand on the left side of the image between two trees and face to the left. The canopy stretched above them is anchored to the ground to the left of Elizabeth, a tree at center and to rocks to the right. Under the canopy, a bed sits low to the ground to the right of Bessie and extends behind her to the right. On the right, boulders are in a pile. Clothes lie and hang around the campsite. Jackets hang from the tree at center, a shirt hangs off the right side of the canopy, clothes lie on the rocks and a shirt hangs from tree branches in the upper right corner. A person's shadow is in the lower left corner.
Minnie West stands right-of-center at the camp site and holds a tent's flap. She faces slightly right and looks to the camera. The tent stands to the right of her and extends outside the frame. Behind her, a table, camping gear and a car sit in the background. In the immediate foreground, the shadow of someone's torso and head enters the image from the bottom edge. At left, a stick protrudes from the brush and a string connects from the top of the stick to the tent. Behind the stick, the trunk of a large tree stands among the shrubs. A mountainside occupies the background in the far distance.
Photograph of the McClellan, West, Stavnow and Velzy party campsite which sits at the foot of a large tree that stands in the center of the image. To the left of the tree, there are two tents. In front of and to the right of the tree, the group's three cars are parked. A man changes a tire on the car that sits parked in front of the central tree. A young boy stands left of him and looks on. Spare tires lean against the rear tire of the automobile. A woman (possibly Minnie West) walks through camp behind the same automobile. She stands between one of the tents and the large tree. To the left, a girl (possibly Elizabeth West) stands between the two tents. Trees run horizontally along the back edge of the campsite. Beyond the trees, two large mountains rise from center towards the left and right.
Photograph of the Velzy's sleeping quarters, pitched alongside Convict Creek. The "bedroom" is situated at the center of the photograph. It is open on the sides and is covered by a canopy. The canopy over the site is anchored to the ground and propped up with a large stick on the leftmost corner, tied with string around a tree at center and anchored to rocks at right. Under the canopy, a bed sits low to the ground and extends from the open side of the "bedroom" on the left towards the rocks at right. On the right, boulders are in a pile. Clothes lie and hang around the campsite. Jackets hang from the tree at center, a shirt hangs off the right side of the canopy, clothes lie on the rocks and a shirt hangs from tree branches in the upper right corner. A person's shadow is cast in the lower left corner.
Photograph, from left to right, of Ted McClellan's son, Elizabeth West and Frances West standing outside a tent and posing for a photograph. Ted's son stands at the far left. He wears a onesie and a dark-colored bucket hat. Behind him and to the right, a tent is pitched conically (similar to a tipi). Elizabeth and Frances stand in front of the tent and to the right of the tent's opening flap. They wear similar onesies and bonnets. Elizabeth wraps her arm around Frances' shoulder. A car is parked behind the tent at left; it's grill and front hood are visible. A person's shadow is in the photograph on the bottom edge at left.
Glen Velzy kneels on the ground and fixes the front left tire on H. H. West's Buick. He faces right as both hands work on the tire. The car (partial view) sits to the right with the front of the car facing slightly towards the left. A tent stands behind and to the left of Glen. It is made out of green balloon silk. A thin rope extends between the top of the tent down to the car. The trunk of a large tree stands in the background right-of-center. An obscured mountain rises in the distance at left.
A blurry photograph of the West-Schmitz-Stavnow-Cole party campsite near Hilton Creek. The campsite is bounded by a tent at left, boulders at center and H. H. West's Cadillac on the right. A member of the camping party bends over the camp stove in front of the boulders just right-of-center. Charles Stavnow stands at right in front and to the left of the Cadillac with his back to the camera. The Cadillac is viewed from the front at an angle. In the distance at right, a snow-covered mountain stands.
