Photos: Arizona Rawhide

(originally from January 2008)

 

My mother and I were invited to Arizona for a week to visit my cousins Theresa and June. It was the first time I was ever out of the midwest (not counting babyhood trips), as well as my first time on a plane. I went berserk documenting it and, though I won’t share all the photos, there are some fun ones.

On the second day we went to see Rawhide

Wild Horse Pass

Rawhide

Just a cool tree

The sign

snifty map

if anyone wants to know what I envision when people say the wild west, or even out west or western days, this is it!

There was some cool stuff in here

Buggy

the street

inside the General Store

awesome tree

heh-heh. i could use some of that!

cannons

There’s the mission, now where’s the shootout?

roaming goats

Oh! There’s the shoot out!

so we went to see the show

Like any good western most everyone ended up dead.

alas, we must be going back to the ranch 😉 (heh-heh)

shame this was closed

Okay, first we stopped for lunch and….

June got a crown!

No. we did not try the rattlesnake, but nice to know we could have, I guess.

More pics tomorrow! Oh boy!

fav song of the moment – Closer – Lacuna Coil
