Cowboy Movies, and more

Here is the website for the museum:
The Lone Pine Film History Museum

Lone Pine, Ca is where many of the older cowboy movies were filmed. In the rocks and desert area just outside of town, and the backdrop of Mount Whitney an the Sierra Nevada mountains. Starting with the Silent Movies and Fatty Arbuckle, then the Singing Cowboys: Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, HopaLong Cassidy, , John Wayne, nearly ever famous actor from the 30's thru the present. Tremors with Kevin Bacon was filmed there.
After visiting the museum, we headed to "Alabama Hills;, and Movie Flat road, where the filming was done. First stop is where the original Gunga Din was filmed in 1939 with Cary Grant, Sam Jaffee, and Douglas Fairbanks.
Ginger loved climbing the rocks, where here favorite cowboys may have been having a shoot-out with the bad guys. Enjoy the photos.
