Sunday Drive: Summer Vacation - 1939/40?

Besides being a champion swimmer, crack chess player and a classical musician who played cello and French horn, Harold D. Currey Jr. was also an amateur photographer who developed and printed his own pictures in a darkroom built into his father's backyard shop.

These three photographs are some of his work which document a summer trip the family took just before World War II.*




And here's what they brought back to Encanto.

*The only clue I have for the year of this trip is the fact the the Dodge truck pictures is a later model than the one shown in pictures taken when they acquired the trailer in 1938.
