Tom Duncan and Robert “Red” Reid are enjoying the view from White Rock, now Mount Cammerer. Note the 100-foot-high surge tank at the Waterville Power House, the white vertical in the lower right corner. They are on a hike that is part of a series of Labor Day weekend day hikes in the Mount Sterling area with the Smoky Mountains Hiking Club. The photographer, Carlos C. Campbell (1892-1978), was a founding member of the Smoky Mountain Hiking Club (est. 1924) and a charter member of the Great Smoky Mountains Conservation Association (est. 1923). Campbell was an avid hiker and often assisted Jim Thompson with his camera equipment. When Campbell won a folding camera in 1935, he began his own photography journey, taking thousands of photographs and jotting down information about each one in small notebooks. His granddaughter, Rebecca Campbell Arrants, donated this collection of photographs and notebooks from 1934 - 1940 to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
