Algonquin Hill Climb-2 1909

Title

Algonquin Hill Climb-2 1909

Description

The companion photo to ID443, the hill climb is over and spectators are walking downhill to Algonquin. Three men are perched in a large tree across the road. You can feel the heat--one woman has her umbrella open, another is shielding her face with a paper. Several men have taken off their suit jackets.

In the right upper corner a glimpse of the Fox River is visible, something that is impossible today because of the houses and buildings on Route 31 today.
