Description

Photograph of Karr's Log Cabin Court in Crescent City. A gravel drive extends across the foreground and back towards the cabins. Two signs for the auto court stand in the near distance at left. A round sign standing just above the ground reads, "KARR'S LOG CABIN COURT HEATED." A sign above it reads, "CABINS." Behind the signs, a few cabins stand. The leftmost cabin is obscured by the signs. Two cabins extend back and to the right of the signs; they face right. Two cabins at far right face slightly left. Between the second and third cabin from the right, H. H. West's Buick is parked. It is viewed from the side at a slight angle and faces right. Far in the distance, a smokestack and a couple water towers stand behind the cabins, right-of-center.

The day of the second instance of the date also contains a handwritten "2" over a typed 3. The wrong portion of the date may have been corrected, the correct date would be July 3, 1942 as the trip was taken in 1942, not 1943.]
