With some digging, it now appears fairly certain that "Tetley's
Mountain Camp" is a location presently known as "Pacific Pines Camp".
It is in Crestline, at 4547 ft. elevation, and the road on the west
side of the camp is called "Tetley Lane" - along Tetley Lane there
were cabins used in the 1930's. I'm awaiting confirmation from
Rhea-Frances Tetley. A number of folks came across a reference to the
site being "20 mi E of Redlands" - this is clearly an erroneous
placement by a later researcher, who was probably as clueless as I
was (the actual spot is 15 mi NNW of Redlands, according to Google
Earth). "Tetley Park" is just one of those place names which was
never a *formal* place name, and almost impossible to track short of
eyewitness accounts.
Thanks to all who responded,
