Description

Photograph, from left to right, of Bessie Velzy, Elizabeth West and Minnie West standing at their campsite near Convict Lake. Bessie and Elizabeth face towards the left and look down at pots and pans sitting on the ground and on rocks in front of them to the left. Elizabeth appears to be yawning. Minnie is to the right of them and walks towards the camera with her head down. At Minnie's right, the corner of a table juts into the frame. Directly behind the group, a car is parked with the front of the car facing the left. In the distance, a lake is on the right and a hillside rises up from the lake towards the left.
