Good ones, GO-B!
That first shot with the Indians almost looks like a diorama.
Now the second, with the Indian motorcycle, I'm thinking the young woman doesn't look so psyched.
Really, did he make her ride on that book rack over the rear tire?

Nice try at analysis, Roy.
This is not strictly a motorcyclist's camp, I'll bet.
How to carry wooden folding chairs on a bike has always been something with which riders had to deal up until the introduction of strong metal tubing.
And there is a lot of canvas strung up around that site. There must have been a support car tagging along. Or maybe it's the other way round.
Well, this conjecturing is as useless as climbing Fitzroy, so...
As for the first shot, of course it's a diorama. It's a miniature one that was installed in the Yosemite Museum when it first opened. It was in the "Indian Room," it was that long ago.
And that is most definitely a Thor motorcycle (looks like 1918), not an Indian, so that dates it pretty well.

Good points, Mouse Man!
And plus, whatever the cause for her boredom or annoyance w/ the motorcycle shtick, we can rest assured that by now, she's well over it!
We work well together. Maybe should consider an alliance?
I propose the Mutt and Jeff Private Detective Agency.
We start out small, see: lost pencils, misplaced syllables, runaway candy wrappers ...

Not really, JTM, and Mouse is on to me.
Smoke, mirrors, and a Google images search!
(It sure is a fun & inspiring photo!)

There are not words to describe these priceless images of the past. The rocks and formations so very familiar to all of us speak of the millions of years these vistas have been viewed by men in their journey thru the 'eternities'.
Prentice Ritter: We're all travelers in this world - from sweet grass to the packin' house - birth till death - we travel between the eternities.
Long be here Yosemite!

Alphonse, I've come across a whole box of gum erasers from @ 1920. What to do with them now is my problem.

Postcard.Bears a remarkable resemblance to Yosemite Valley, but it's further south--S Fork Kings River.
Dunderberg Peak was formerly called Castle Peak.

Now that Yosemite has sunken to the level of national disgracery,
let us turn our faces from its disgraces and venture to some European places.
