In reading Thomas Edison's biography by Randall Stross I learned of Edison's once famous camping trips that included other famous people and presidents. Here is a picture of one from the Ohio Historical Society archives.
"Friends Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, President Warren G. Harding and Harvey Firestone pictured on a camping trip that the four took together in Maryland with members of their families. This image gives us a candid look at four of the countrys most influential men of their time. These men were the powerbrokers of politics and industry in the early twentieth century, yet they took time to enjoy each others company far away from the source of that power."
