Balloon Route Trolley Trip

James and Mary Schenk were photographed with the other passengers in the Balloon Route Trolley Trip outside the Old Soldiers' Home in Los Angeles. Find them in the third row, right of center. There is no date on the photo, but it may have been taken in 1912, before any of the children were born.

Photo from Balloon Route

This was an official souvenir photo from the trip, as the cover shows. The Balloon Route was an official tourist attraction starting at the turn of the 20th century. The best description I have found of this trip is here:
