Today\u2019s destination: Wickenburg, Arizona

\xa0

Team roping capital of the world. What is team roping? One guy gets the head and the other the heel. Four arenas here, and anyone can watch.\xa0

Cowboys roping steers starts at the end of April and ends in April, except for some Gold Rush Days.

Historic Wickenberg.\xa0

Rodeo Grounds, Hassayampa River Walk & Wishing Well Park, Henry Wickenburg Historic House, Desert Caballeros Western Museum, Town Hall, Coffinger Park, Sunset Park/Splash Pad

\xa0It\u2019s about an hour\u2019s drive from Phoenix (65 miles)/

Bikers like it here. I noticed BC Jeep tours,\xa0

For culture, there is the Webb Center for the performing arts.

I noticed hardware stores and car-related businesses.

When I looked further, they have Ghost town toys, Vulture City Ghost Town Tours, 12 miles south of Wickenburg. It reminds me of a small town like Williams, AZ.

Travelbest: I had a buffet lunch on a Sunday afternoon in October, after driving from Phoenix. It was a beautiful day, and the convertible was the best mode of transportation to get there. It\u2019s not clear on the map. I got a little lost but finally found it. Yelp and other recommendations were right. It was delicious food and great service. Plus, the gift store had a lot of cowboy stuff to enjoy. It\u2019s a dude ranch, and they have groups who ride horses daily here. They close in May for the summer and open again in the fall. It\u2019s too hot in the summer here.

Rancho Baballeros, locals call it, Los Cab. It\u2019s a resort, saloon, restaurant, golf course,\xa0

Do visit a dude ranch.

Don\u2019t plan to visit in the summer. It\u2019s too hot.

Today\u2019s Mistake- Forgetting sunglasses.

\xa0

I went on a trip through the desert and forgot to bring my good sunglasses.

In the meantime, I wore a brimmed hat. I bought new sunglasses as soon as possible. My eyes can get sunburned, like my skin. Protect them.

Today\u2019s Travel Advice-If you are going on a cruise, consider using a travel agent.\xa0

\xa0

The industry compensates the travel agent for booking your cruise. They will be your advocate in case of a problem or if you need extra support before, during, or after your cruise. It costs you no extra to use a travel agent to book your trip. You could save money if they give you good advice on navigating the journey.
