This album follows the lives of newly-weds Marian and Jerry
who travel throughout California and the Southwest visiting their
families, national parks and other scenic places. Locations in
California include Monterey coast, Santa Cruz, San Simeon, Buck's
Lake, Marin County, San Francisco, Mt. Lassen, and Lake Tahoe.
They visited Muir Woods, took a boat trip to the 1939 San
Francisco World's Fair, honeymooned along the Oregon coast and
Olympic Peninsula in Washington, and went skiing at Badger Pass
in Yosemite National Park. The couple seems to have gone a big
trip each year. In 1940 they traveled to Colorado; visited Craig,
Central City, Steamboat Springs, Rocky Mountain National Park,
Red Rocks, Garden of the Gods, Colorado Springs, Mesa Verde
National Park and Royal Gorge. They also explored the Grand
Canyon and Zion National Park, Dinosaur National Monument and
Salt Lake City, Utah. There are many fun candid shots of the
couple playing tourist and many family group shots as well.
