This postcard isn't dated, but it is  around 1920.  By this time, camping had become a popular vacation activity among the middle and upper classes.  The caption reads, "Camping near the foot of Mt. Pisgah, in "The Land of the Sky". 

Contrast these campers with the "camping" that was done by the wealthy friends of the Vanderbilts at Buck Springs Lodge  (November 14).  They have an actual tent, and many of the activities, such as eating,  are taking place outside.

I think it is interesting that one woman is wearing a white lingerie dress, while the others are more practically attired in knickers and sweaters.  I woder how she kept that thing clean in the woods, cooking over a fire?  And note the little boy in his sailor suit!

People who want to camp and hike in the national forest west of Asheville often took the train to the city, and then hired a taxi to take them up the rough and winding roads to find a camping spot!
