August 17th, 1913:  Sunday.
 Everybody up at 5:30, broke camp a little later than usual.  Traveled 17 miles this morning.  Took several pictures along the way.  Passed another Fort and camped quarter mile beyond it.  Sandy roped a beef for the soldiers at the fort.  Some of us saw several deer this morning.  Took in the sights of Lower Basin and visited the Fountain Hotel and Paint Pots and several geysers in action.  In the evening some of our party visited Shaw and Powell's permanent Camp where we had large campfire--singing and lots of fun.

The closest to 1913 that I have found.

Probably hasn't changed much!
