Wickenburg, Arizona

We have now been in Wickenburg, Arizona for one week. We will be here until Feb. 20. Wickenburg is celebrating their Gold Rush Days. They have a very small carnival, Senior Rodeo, 4th largest parade in Arizona, entertainment by the Sons of the San Joaquin, dinner with music by Daughters of the Purple Sage, and a western shootout on Frontier street. The Escapee park we are staying at is wonderfull. They have a wonderful cactus garden and lots of activities to keep us busy. We were very impressed with the parade. They had two groups of pom pom girls from Sun City, Arizona. One group included ages 65-69 and the other 70+. After seeing one of the 70+ ladies perform the splits, I think Sun City might be the place to retire if one wanted to stay young. I really am enjoying my new camera. It has allowed me to take wonderful pictures. We were sitting at least 50 yards away from the chutes but the pictures came out just great.
