See on the map below where Copperopolis is… the town is in the red square in the map below..
After a wonderful day with my Aunt and cousin, Ev and I headed to Copperopolis in the “gold country of California” where our friends John & Bette live.
We meet John & Bette in 2002 on our first outing with our at that time “new” trailer. We were at the San Simeon campground. We met briefly, like that afternoon and evening and then we were on our way the next morning. However, what transpired in that short time was a blossoming new friendship that would last! John & Bette invited us to their wedding that would take place at the Carson Inn at Carson City, NV in 6 weeks! And we arrived just in time for their wedding! And so the rest is history..
For years John & Bette have always come here to visit us and this is the first time we have been to their place.. 
When we arrived they both were so excited to see us!! woo hoo and us were happy to see them!
We had a nice evening just chatting away.. Bette fixed a great dinner salad with chicken and cabbage..Their home is in a sub division that everyone has acreage, not sure how much, but they are darn big lots! None of us are late nighters, so we retired about 10 to ready for the day, tomorrow!
The “boys” had their day planned.. They took a ride and went visiting.. check out this movie (this is “men” trying to take a picture”)
Bette had an event planned at the Ironstone Vineyard as a vendor. The event is “Girls Night Out”.
Girls get to sip wine snack on hor duerves and shop, can’t think of anything better myself. Bette is a “partylite” consultant. She and her girlfriend, Anita work together setting up their displays and then work the event together.. It was pretty fun, I enjoyed the afternoon and evening.. I even got to do a little shopping..
I found a very pretty necklace and bracelet.. Click on link, then click catalog>> http://www.tracilynnjewelry.net/
Great Prices!!
We packed up the event and got back to John & Bette’s about 10:30pm had a glass of wine and went to bed! Long day!
In the morning we were already up and ready for the day. We were going to take a nice ride up by Bear Valley Pass (at least that is what I think it was). We would ride through Angles Camp, Murphy’s, Dorrington, Ebbets Pass on up the hill. Not much snow down low, but about 6k we started seeing signs of some snow. By the time we got to Spicer Road snow staging area, there was a nice amount of snow..
From here we went back down the mountain and stopped in at the Ebbets Pass Moose Lodge.
Cute place.. The picture below was a picture I took from the Ebbets pass Moose lodge site.. It looks prettier than the one I had… there is snow around this one!!
We walked in and we introduced ourselves and we had a nice and warm welcome from Della the bartender. She was so sweet, she poured our drinks, brought them to us. She also turned the lights on for the shuffleboard game.. Bought a drink and then had “safe sex” with my husband.. LOL.. Just kidding..They do have a walk in “safe” with their stored liquor.. The door is a “safe” door on the door there is sign that reads ask the bartender if you would like to enter.. Della was cute.. of course Ev had to check it out. So this picture below is of Della and Ev having “safe sex” in the safe.. Guess it is one of those things, “you had to be there”.
We had a fun fun day with John & Bette!! What a kick! When we got home Bette cooked up a sweet shrimp alfredo.. umm..delicious!! We continued to party into the evening..
In the morning Ev and I didn't get up too early. But got packed and ready to go. We had plans to do some shopping at Cash & Carry in Stockton and meet some friends for Dinner..
We had a great time with you both!! We will try come visit again soon!!
