Alcova (inhabited place)

Setting up pup tents near a picnic shelter in the Cottonwood Bay Recreation Area, Earl McNees and Neal Blank, Casper, prepare to spend the week end at the site. Picnic shelters and charcoal broilers, such as seen in the background, have been erected in this area on the Bureau of Reclamation`s Alcova Reservoir by the Casper Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center. This photograph is part of a collection that consists of photographs and negatives created and/or used by the Casper Star Tribune from 1967 until the middle of 1995 according to a newspaper article on the donation from February of 2000. In the words of Special Collections Curator, Kevin Anderson, the photographs in this collection serve to document "events in our own lives, events in our own history." There were 19,000 envelopes that were gifted to the repository, which totaled between 330,000 and 460,000 images. Images in this collection may support the use of other collections in the repository or vice versa.
