1939-12
This sheet of paper was folded up inside album ZL6. The numbers correspond to the order of photos in the album. Note that Irene appears to have the order incorrect. For example #10 is in souteastern Wyoming, # 11 is Salt Lake City in Utah. But then there are a series of photos in Yellowstone (Wyoming) followed by photos in Oregon and California. Nobody would really drive that way! I have scanned the photos the way I believe they drove. With the exception of 9 small purchased commercial photos of Yellowstone I scanned every photo in the album. From the stampings on the back one can tell that the photos were processed at many different dates and at several different processors. My guess is that several persons on the trip had cameras and that they shared photos after processing. Because of this the stampings are of little use in sequencing the photos. There are other photos in other albums apparently taken by Irene that are processed by "Brown" and I suspect the "Brown" photos in this album are Mom's. There are 5 people that start on the trip. Pearl is a good friend of Mom's. However the other 3 - identified only by first names are totally unknown by me. It appears they had two cars. There was a 1938 or 1939 Hudson coupe tha I believe was Pearl's. I think it held only two persons. It appears that the cars separated in Salt Lake City. At least that is the last time the other 3 persons appear. Mom gives no dates in the entire album. However another album has a California photo and has July 1939 on back. Thus I believe the trip was in June and early July 1939.
