Up until now, I have been able to identify the people in my Sepia Saturday posts, but not today (or not so far). These photos came from the same photo album that last week's Guam photos are in. They were my late father-in-law's, Troy Matthews. This group of camping photos was in the section labeled 1946, though they may have been taken a couple of years after that. Cary didn't recognize them as any of his relatives, though my mother-in-law probably does know who they are. I still think that they are neat, and hope that you enjoy them.
On the back of one of the pictures, the only one with writing on it, it says, "Do you know who we are?" Nope! But it looks as if you guys are having a great time camping in the desert, someplace in America.
Christine H. left a comment that she thinks these were taken in Joshua Tree National Park. Thanks, Christine! Here is a link to begin learning more about that place: Joshua Tree National Park, California Also, the trailer very well could be a 1946 Ken-skill Teardrop. To learn more about one being rebuilt, and viewing how the inside is set up, please check out this link: "BY CLICKING HERE".

Settling down for a sip of coffee. Or maybe a sip of whiskey?
It is camping, after all.

These guys have their tent set up.
I'm guessing that they are the ones with the kids.
