A woman's scrapbook and diary of her time on a camping trip in the Blue Mountains in Ontario, Canada during the summers of 1920 through 1928, including images of uniformed young women. The diary starts off with Ethel Humphrey writing, "In memory of my trip to Blue Mountain." Humphrey then writes a poem for each person with her on the trip and even writes one for herself, "There was once a young woman named Humpy, In camp she was never grumpy, She would laugh, swear, or sing, Of any old thing."

She also writes short descriptions of what takes place on the trip and who is there with her each summer. Most of the photos are captioned with the names of the people present or the meaning of the different tents and locations. Some of the photos show the landscape of the mountains and lakes, but mostly they feature the young women cooking, cleaning, and fooling around. A couple photos show Humphrey in her "Knickers," enjoying the outdoors. There are several pages filled with small and charming hand-drawn illustrations of the daily activities the young women participated in. Some include getting stuck in the rain, paddling canoes, sleeping under the stars, waiting for the train home, and more. There is a single letter written in 1914 to Humphrey from a friend she had met while traveling, asking to receive correspondence from her as they had not spoken for a while.

An interesting scrapbook and diary about a woman's camping trips with her female friends in Canada.
