Description:
Photograph, from left to right, of Mary A. West, Chester Schmitz and Kate A. Schmitz in their campsite near Silver Lake. Mary A. West sits nearest the camera at center. She is sitting on the ground, facing right, but turns her head to look to the camera as she rests a hand down to the ground behind her. Pieces of fabric lie about the patch of grassy ground that surrounds Mary. Behind her, a few pots and pans sit on the ground. Further behind her at right, Kate A. Schmitz appears to be washing a pot while Chester Schmitz sits in front of her. A sliver of a stream is visible along the right edge of the frame. Behind Mary and to the left, the camp stove stands; it is viewed from the side. A tent (partial view) and a pile of branches sit even further behind Mary on the left. A mountainside occupies the far distance.
