My New England visitors and I missed the rodeo, which started just two nights after we were in town.

However, we were like moths drawn to the flame of arena lights across the road and went over to see what was going on. A very nice woman, who was holding a clipboard (the universal sign that a person is Definitely In Charge), let us hang around and watch the riders practicing the grand entry.

And like a lot of things that just fall into place, it was a highlight of our trip.
