If we were actually to do this, I have a number of books that point out locations and have been to all of the major local cemeteries, with the exception of Westwood Memorial Park (Marlyn Monroe, Truman Capote, Natalie Wood, among others).

Anyone who has gone to the cemetery screenings is already familiar with "Hollywood Forever" (Valentino, Mel Blanc, etc.. There are also both of the Forest Lawns in Glendale and Hollywood Hills (Walt Disney, Liberace, Stan Laurel, etc.) as well as Holy Cross (Bing Crosby, Sharon Tate, Bela Lugosi, etc.) and Hillside (Al Jolson, Jack Benny, Lorne Green, etc.) both of which are near LAX.

Have you been to John Wayne's grave? It's a really nice location in Newport Beach, great view of the Pacific.

When is it? January is filling up fast. There are so many people that we've put off seeing until after the holidays that I'm freaking out just thinking about it. I could probably schedule us through Feb if I wanted to. I love seeing people but sometimes I wish for spontenaiety. When you're talking about LA and SD (which we always are), you can't have spontenaiety.

There were tons of old movies shot in Lone Pine. It's a beautiful area. It's also a short car ride to Mt. Whitney. It's pretty up there...

I'll do Yosemite any time.

OK, HERE'S something I'd like to accomplish this Spring........CAMPING.

I do love those areas, GC, like along the 395 maybe?

I love the location of the Lodge. We were toying with staying at the Awahnee but it is so far from everything. But they do have a pool....

We've stayed in the cabins and loft rooms at Curry Village. Lisa, the closest I've been to camping in years was Housekeeping camp. We were lucky there weren't any knuckleheads at the time. Lots of families.

That Calico trip sounds like something the LoT gang might enjoy...scares and laughs....

BFL~ LOL I doubt if when the time comes you'll be doing MP alone....

I think most of us better start at sea level before even thinking about trying it at altitude.

Girlfriend, you have gotten the running bug!! I haven't been running much {outdoors} since the Hubster hurt himself {dah, forget what it is called but it is his foot....}.

I have seen the ones in Montery, too, that look awesome. I think they have short ones {my speed} and long ones that go up the 1. I wouldn't mind being there for the fun but I don't think I could do that. Well, not now. Lucky to run 2 miles on the treadmill.

And, GD is right. That altitude will cut you short! Your breath, that is.
