Wickenburg, AZ

This is the most Western Town of western Arizona with the Most Western Museum in Arizona. If you like cowboys and horses, dude ranches and guest ranches, BBQ and beer then this is the place to be. The park we are staying in is called "Horsepitality RV Park" and there must be 50 horses boarded here. As we walked thru the town, we must have passed 8 saloons and that was in a 4 block area! The river that runs thru the area is called Hassayampa but here in town it is only a dry riverbed. They claim it is underground here and in the mountains it runs above ground. The name means "river that runs upside down". And legend has it that if you drink the water you will never tell the truth again! I think this has something to do with gold miners exaggerating the truth of their discoveries.

We played golf at the Wickenburg Country Club today. I played great. John on the other hand is considering running over his clubs with the Jeep. The course was pretty with some very, very narrow fairways and fast rolling greens. It rained last night so today was on the cool side (60's) even though the sun was shinning.
