May 2021 Lone Pine, CA

My parents are 86 and 84 and are past their camping days. However, my wife and I enjoy hanging out with them and therefore, we’re always looking for a way to incorporate them into our camping lifestyle. Therefore, we came up with an idea where we can camp and they can stay in a one bedroom lodge. Well, we found that just outside of downtown Lone Pine, CA. The place is called Boulder Creek Mobile Home and RV. A campground that had a pool, campstore, 3 of these small log cabins, plenty of spots with full hookups and plenty of breathing room between campsites. My sister-in-law, Marcie, and her husband, Ed, joined us as well, but with their camper. The two of them do a bit of RVing and they’re semi-retired, so my wife and I have been trying to hook up with them as much as we can. You might ask yourself, “…her husband? what’s up with that? Don’t you mean, your brother?” Well, Marcie married my brother back in 89 and he passed away and eventually, she remarried. Not sure on the nomenclature, but Ed is family. So the 6 of us met up at Boulder Creek for 4 days of just “chillin” and we did just that. Boulder Creek is kind of a hidden gem. It’s in high desert country at 3727 ‘ in elevation. The days were 90 and the nights were a breezy 60. The cabins were a bit odd shaped inside, but they did the job for my folks.
