Sunday July 26 2009 Cheyenne WY Rodeo Finals



We made a full day of it by starting off with attending Cowboy Church at the arena then walking around looking at the various items offered by vendors. The pre-show if I might call it that included several U S Navy Seals skydiving from a C-130 and landing in the arena. This was the last of them but I couldn't put the others ahead of Old Glory. We have not had very good wireless service for the last few days. We are currently in Colorado Springs. When we leave here in the morning we plan to start working our way back home. Only 2300 miles but it will probably take us several days.

You have to enlarge this one and look in the upper right area. It is a U S Navy Seal landing in the arena. I just took the picture too early for a good view.

The winners of these different events receive a lot of money but they also receive a special belt buckle and saddle. This is big in the rodeo world. I have many pictures but I promise not to bore you with all of them.
