NATURAL BEAUTY BY MARGIE

WHITE PINES FOREST STATE PARK
AND WHITE PINES INN

If you have never been to White Pines Forest State Park, you're in for a treat.  Margie's first visited White Pines as a Girl Scouts in the late 1980s.  She hiked the trails, cooked out over an open fire, listened to the owls and other night creatures as she drifted off to sleep feeling as if she were in the wilderness.  White Pines is a vast cool island of green- green pines that stretch to the sky sheltering homes to wildlife and native flora.  It is also a sweet serene respite to our very busy lives.  You will feel this when you arrive- the White Pine Inn is cozy and rustic, giving one a sense of being in a different world, perhaps one of fantasy.  Take off your shoes and stand in the grass with us as we celebrate the marriage of Mike and Margie here in the forest of White Pines Forest State Park.
