Wow Photo Wednesday

A man and woman prepare a meal in the back of a camper at Rocky Mountain Lake Park auto camp (motor camp) in the Berkeley neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. The grill, coffee pot, pans, tins and other utensils sit on a drawer that slides under the car. Clothing and bags are hung on the inside of the camper and are exposed by canvas flaps that are rolled up. The windows are covered with screen.
Camping in Rock[y] Mt. Lake Park
[between 1918 and 1920?]

If you're getting a little tired of winter, this picture will awaken images of bucolic summer fun, the smell of breakfast cooking and the sound of a nearby brook, while enjoying the latest, luxurious state-of-the-art equipment designed to make camping as civilized as - well, more civilized than a tent. Wow.

I can smell the eggs even now. Note the wardrobe. Some bloomers in the truck. He is showing off his cullinery skills while she prepares to add the hot sauce, the very height of modern camping!!!

Looks like fun, eh? I just realized - I hope the gas tank is a long way from that fire . . . .

It's a great picture, but I have to comment on the categorization. Is it camping if it isn't outdoors?

I think they call it car-camping...
