2002 Hoopes Family Reunion - Alpine, AZ.

Click here for second half of pictures

The Hoopes family packed up the van and headed out to Alpine, AZ for a Hoopes family reunion on Thursday, June 27, 2002.  Eleven and half hours later, we arrived Blythe, CA.  Temperatures were a balmy 115 degrees Fahrenheit.  We Travelled all day Friday, and arrived in Alpine Friday evening.

We enjoyed the Catwalk State Park in New Mexico.   Check out the following links for more information:

didn't know existed, so we totally missed that! But you can bet we'll check it out the next time we make it to Alpine, AZ.
