I went with a girl friend to a rock club outing in Wickenburg. We made it a girls weekend spending three days in the cowboy town of Wickenburg. We are members of the Yuma Gem and Mineral club and they put together the outing to find Apache Tears, Pastelite and quartz crystals. The scenery was beautiful with a forest of Joshua Trees like the one in the picture. The weather couldn't have been nicer and we found some nice specimens. I have them soaking in acid to clean them up. I will try to take some pictures once they look like something.
We had a great time in Wickenburg. It ended up being the same weekend all the cowboys come through on their way to Las Vegas for the National Rodeo Championships. It seemed like there were more horses than people in town. Everywhere you looked were big trucks pulling horse trailers. We also got to enjoy the annual Christmas parade through downtown Friday night. It was a very cute small town parade. Even though Wickenburg is a cute town with lots going on we still prefer Yuma because it is warmer.
