Wickenburg Rodeo and Stanton, Arizona

Feb. 12th to 14th--Wickenburg Arizona--Arrived in Wickenburg,a lovely little town in the valley, just in time to see their annual Rodeo and explore some old ghost towns in the area. We stayed on the rodeo grounds for two nights and made day trips to Stanton, Arizona a old gold rush town that had been restored to resemble it's original condition. The Lost Dutchman's mining Association have taken over the town and there were prospectors from all over America actively panning for gold in the surrounding hills.


Parading the Flags, good to see some Canadian cowboys participating .

One guy and four dummies doing YMCA by the Village People -Hilarious.


These Cowboys are Tough. OUCH!
