That's a racoon up there in the right corner. Zoom in and you can make out his mask and ear.

"Click" the image for details. The car is a 1919-20 Dorris. Interesting additional info and recent picture of same location.

I see what you are talking about. Weird. Probably matrixing.

LOL I assumed that was a banner ad when I saw the "Buy Print" button and I never read it! Nothing like hiding in plain sight....

camp curry..never was an RV park
it was mixed tent and canvas cabin camping

Opened 1899, still operating as Curry Village. Effectively no camping, i.e. no fires and no cooking, today's rules.

I don't know that it ever operated as a RV park.

I noticed that the tires were Goodrich. I have them on my truck now, different model of course...

Wonder what the cup was for? Wonder what the tow rating on that car was?
