Last night we had a terrific meal in a local grille, it was packed out & people lining up out side, so we sat at the bar (again) and ate there. The "Arizona Cowpunchers Reunion Rodeo" is on this weekend, and it seems everyone is in town tonight. We couldn't resist having a few at the Saloon across the street, so in we go, omg, cowboys & cowgirls . And i mean only cowboys & cowgirls, the place was full, some even with spurs on!. We played pool for a bit, 2 games we were in front 4 to 5 balls, then in of the black both times! There was dancing and really good time had by all. We looked like fish out of water though, with our "California Boots" on (thongs).
After breakfast care of our host Elton at the Grand Hotel, we went of in search of the local car wash, because our poor bikes are really filthy. They had a good wash and a polish, all ready to see the girls tommorrow in Las Vegas.
Then we checked out the local shops, it's quite the old west town here, it really feels like its kept much of the Route 66 charm, that is so typical. Mick (Michael to some - hi Mum) bought some new fancy boots and western shirt. So he is all ready for the big rodeo in town this afternoon

The rodeo was great, it was actually a real family affair. Not just broco riding, they have steer riding for the kids, "milking" comp for the whole family - 3 people.
More Cowboys & Cowgirls than you could poke a stick at here!
The evening was spent here ay the motel, with our host and Jack Vink, who wrote "Banished to the Strips of Concrete", we have even a signed copy. Quite a character, and a really nice guy.
Well its actaully Sunday morning here now, and were are just about to set off to Vegas, as soon as we get a bit lower in elevation it will be 40 celcius, and its allready windy, so were ion for a hot ride.
So we hope you enjoyed the day off as much as we did.
Adios amigos, Dave & Mick
