This mural, along with it's sister-mural, "Cars and Horses", can be found on the service station exterior wall at the Rock Springs Cafe. They are both relatively new, painted in 2012.
Measuring an equal 8' x 24' feet as that of its sister, this mural takes place in the early history of the Rock Springs Cafe, when it was a remote outpost and rest stop along the highway between Flagstaff and Phoenix.
Depicted here is a man who has set up camp on the grounds of the Rock Springs Garage, along the banks of the Aqua Fria River. He has parked his antique woody car, set up a tent, and sits in a folding chair, relaxing and reading.
