Celebrating our 50th Wedding Anniversary Lone Pine Style

Posted on by

Despite the 3 hour trek, family and friends graced us with their presence at the celebration of our 50th Wedding Annivsary at Boulder Creek RV Resort in Lone Pine.  Before the big party, we all gathered at the Lone Pine Movie Museum and caravaned through the Alabama Hills (pictured in this blog separately).  The night of the party, we ate, danced, embibed and had a wonderful time.  Sandy and the Country High band from Independance entertained as well as some talented family members.
