Scope and content
There isn't much known about this photograph that was taken on June 20, 1939 for the Tacoma Times. The two young men are both Boy Scouts. The one at the left has a patch on his shirt that says "Camp Aide 1938." They are studying a Washington state map that they got at a Shell Oil gas station. Apparently, they were planning a trip, by bicyle, around the Olympic peninsula. Unfortunately we do not know their names, and we find no record of whether they ever completed their trip. (T. Times)
