Description	A man and woman, 'King' and 'Queen' of the carnival, sit on a dais seemingly made of ice. There is an ice wall behind them with a large star above their heads. They are wearing crowns and robes and are flanked on either side by several other people, some in court costumes. The carnival was held February 3 & 4, 1934. Big Pines Recreation Camp (elevation 6,862) was developed in 1923 by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors and the Department of Parks and Recreation. It became a year-round resort with crowds of up to 10,000 on many weekends. Big Pines is located four miles west of Wrightwood in the Angeles National Forest. In 1940 Los Angeles County transferred the land to the U.S. Forest Service. Big Pines continues to be a popular recreation area, with three ski resorts, campgrounds and Jackson Lake.
