The following are several photos of Birda and company camping together (courtesy of the personal collection of David Ahrnsbrak.) Most of them are assumed taken in the year 1917, either because writing on the front or back of the photo indicates such, or the age of those pictured fits that timeframe.
Mr. Ahrnsbrak related to me as he shared these photos that Birda was not a true camper. She insisted on bringing her mattress from home along with them and having it tied to the top of the car (in later camping trips) and making sure her comfort necessities were covered when they reached their destination.
In this regard, I feel a true descendant of hers, as camping is NOT my cup of tea either. Born into a whole family of campers, and I'd rather stay in a hotel.

These two state they were taken in 1918 on yet another camping expedition.
Man with chaps on (about 5th photo down) is J. Clive Davis on a honeymoon trip with Asher, Birda, and Jennie Lewis.
