Rollin' Rollin' Rollin' keep those doggies rollin'........

We had a wonderful time with Dale and Carol last weekend. One of the things we saw was the Western town of Rawhide which is not too far from where we live. When we pulled up there were a lot of cars but no one in the town so we dubbed it a "Ghost Town". As we were walking in we could hear the loudspeaker playing Frankie Layne's rendition of Rawhide - see the words -------->


Interesting that the Conastoga wagon has a "motorcycle parking only" sign in front of it!








We caught Larry and Dale redhanded loitering and sent them directly to the portable jail.





















After walking around for 15-20 minutes we were approached by one of the workers who asked if we were part of the private party. Since we were not she told us the town was closed until evening. We grabbed our cowboy hats and left.

Coming home from work I witnessed just a little taste of our Heavenly Father's artistic talent! I was stopped at a red light for the first picture and then hurried out of my car at the library to take the next two pictures. The last one was taken after I came out of the library - just a few minutes made a world of difference, don't you think? If you double click on the photos you can see them a little more clearly. Too bad the photos don't do the color justice!!!
