Dony, Shirley, Fontella & myself walked to the Shokipie [Shakopee] Mine in Towlsey, leaving 6-30 a.m. and coming home 9-p.m. Walked over 7 miles.

A note on the back of this photo indicates it was taken at the Shakopee mine on August 12, 1931. But it may have been taken on the same date as this journal entry.
