And then, when it was fully dark, the last rider left the rodeo arena.

We left too, but reluctantly, because it had been just an outstanding evening, one that wasn’t planned but that was the perfect end to a trip with my friends. It just goes to show what can happen if you decide to cross the highway to the rodeo arena to see why the lights are on. Or whatever: just go look.
