Having an Ice Time: 1951

This is Rauleigh, previously seen in the colorful kitchen. He's almost 10 (Edit: I made a mistake, he is about 8 in these 1951 photos) in this Kodachrome taken at the "south porch" door of a cabin in Running Springs, California in 1951. From a set found in a thrift store. View full size.

Rauleigh of Running Springs

I was able to identify this boy, and posted it, but subsequently, the person who posted the photo asked me to remove the last name for privacy reasons. So I have respectfully complied.

Running Springs

Running Springs CA is located in the mountains about 15 miles (as the crow flies) E.N.E. from San Bernardino at an average elevation of 6,100 feet. It may have been a community of vacation cabins in 1951 it is now a town with a population of 5,000.

The weather service reported 4.85 inches of precipitation for January 1951. It also figures about 1 foot of snow for 1 inch of precipitation so the snow level shown in the open door would be about average.

I like the Jenga style bench leg.

Nice shot

Although it is great to see these old Kodachromes, it is bit sad that no one cared enough to retain their family photos and they ended up in a thrift shop.

Ho Ho Ho

I think it's the day after Christmas and he's proudly showing off his new wristwatch.

And that is some DEEP snow!
