Description

A scratchy and askew photograph of the cabin rented by the Wests, Glen Velzy and Nina Meyers at Soper's Ranch near Matilija Creek, standing under oak trees. The cabin is viewed from an angle and appears to be tilted towards the back. The front of the cabin faces towards the left. The lower portion of the cabin is built of lumber and canvas tenting covers the cabin's roof and surrounds the cabin's windows. A couple of power lines run across the top portion of the image. The cabin is surrounded by trees.
