Neat old photo - sometime in the 50's perhaps
Lightly dressed for Sept 25 The trees in the background are not hemlock. They appear to be a species of fir. Possibly spruce but I think fir is a better bet. I would not be surprised if the location is somewhere in the NW - N. CA, WA, OR but just a WAG. |

Nice picture!
These girls could be triplets? Maybe.......? http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/W...use__Parker_CO The 17 Mile House is the only mile house in the region that remains in a rural setting and in its original location. Mile houses were originally located every two to three miles along the Cherokee / Smoky Hill Trails, all leading to and named based on the distance to the intersection of Colfax Avenue and Broadway in Denver. Out of the original six miles houses, only the 17 Mile House and the 4 Mile House exist in their entirety today. |

Somewhere along Seventeen Mile Drive at Pebble Beach, south of Monterrey, California. I'd be willing to bet that back in the day the country club there had skeet ranges in addition to golf courses. Trees do look like Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga taxifolia aka Pseudotsuga menziesii) to these old eyes.

To me the trees look like Balsam Fir.
The other gun looks like an Ithaca Flues model. |

Based on hairdos and blouses, I would guess late 30s, into the 40s.

Being from New England I lean to agreeing with Dean about balsam fir and the Ithaca also. I thought the clothing and hair styles looked 20s or 30s but I don't have much confidence in that assessment.
I was hoping someone would speak up and say that some famous shooting grounds was located at 17 mile at X. Maybe someone still will have some solid history but more likely not. Erick |

There's a 17 Mile Road here in Michigan and there's an awful lot of pine trees up this way.
