The End

  We woke up this morning in the Boulder Creek RV Park in Lone Pine. We debated what we might do, and decided to g to the Lone Pine Movie Museum.
   One of Lone Pines' claims to fame is that Hollywood found it and have shot a lot of movies in the Alabama Hills, jusrt west of town, going up the Mt. Whitney Portal Rd.
   Many of the old Westerns were shot here, and some contemporary films. The Museum is a lot of fun, if you liked the old westerns. There's old automobiles that look like they were still on the showroom floor.   
  There are collections of the old weapons, clothing, saddles which are attributed to the movies.
   There's a section devoted to Roy Rogers, another to Will Rogers. All the old "Cowboys" have a little homage paid to them. Smiley Burnette, Andy DeVine, Lash LeRue, Johnny Mack Brown, Randolph Scott, Audie Murphy, Gabby Hayes, Tex Ritter, Rex Allen, Hopalong Cassidy......So many of the actors had some of their things on display. Hopalong Cassidy's display included the things that any 6 year old cowboy would want. The lunch pail, a two gun rig and the whole black outfit, just like Hopalongs black outfit. I thought I was cool when I had my Davey Crockett outfit with the wooden gun! Hopalongs outfit was really something!
   At Roy Rogers display there was a small poster which outlined the rules that Roy tried to live by. It was to inspire a young cowpoke to be like him. You were admonished to stay clean, help out around the house, etc.. If you are old enough you;ll remember when your favorite "Hero" would offer some rules to live by. There's nothing around like it today, is there.......
  But we took no pictures......If you are ever in Lone Pine, I'd recommend that you stop in and have a look around.
  After the Museum, we decided to drive home. We got here about 7:00 tonight. Now all we gotta do is unload and clean the millions of bugs off the front of the truck and the camper......LOL.
