Description

Photograph, from left to right, of Wilfrid Cline, Jr. and Harry Schmitz taking a break from unloading camp furniture and posing next to the car near the McCloud River. Both pose in front of the side of the car. Wilfrid Cline, Jr. stands in front of the car's windshield and looks to camera. He holds onto the handle of an axe with his right hand and stretches his left arm to the right across an open car door. Harry Schmitz stands in front of the rear of the car and looks to the camera. He rests his left arm to his hip and stretches his right arm over to the left and rests it on the side of the car. The car is parked right-of-center and faces left. Furniture is piled in the backseat of the car. Tall pines stand in the distance. A wide streak of white stretches from the lower left corner up towards the center, near the car.
