Campfire
Image
A group of people, including two men, two women and a youth, is gathered around a campfire on a beach in the Kettle Moraine State Forest. One of the women, who appears to be older, is standing behind the others as they toast marshmallows. The woman at far left has a flower in her hair. A written caption on the reverse of the photograph reads: "Picnic fire in the Greenbush Sports Area."
