Pioneertown, CA

For Albert’s birthday this weekend I surprised him and took in to good ole Pioneertown, California. Pioneertown was built in the 1940’s as a Western movie set by the big wigs in Hollywood. Their intention was to having a set in which you could live on while shooting. We stayed in the Pioneertown Motel which was a quaint ranch turned hotel with the option to board your own horse. Every day around 2:30pm on Main Street they do an old fashion shoot out and the town comes alive with actors from the Wild West. There is a famous bar called Pappy and Harriets where a lot of well known musicians stop on their way to Los Angeles to play. We spent the night dancing to the sounds of The Freightshakers. The whole weekend was a total riot and I recommend it to anyone who goes to the Joshua Tree area.
