Three motorcycle riders are posing on boulders along the shore of Devil's Lake. One rider (a woman?) is partially out of the frame on the left. Elmer, right, is wearing a shirt, tie, trousers and high lace-up boots, and is holding a leather jacket. The man in the center in the background is Raymond (Ray) Griesemer, who is wearing a sweater with the Milwaukee Motorcycle Club patch on it. In the background is the lake and far shoreline. Handwritten at the bottom: "Resting."
