The event is over

It was a lot of bullriding and it's finally over.  The competition was tight right down to the last ride and I was happy with the outcome.  My husband breathed a sigh of relief when we finally could get out of the center.  The noise level of the constant music was unbelievable every night, which takes its toll both on your ears and body. Ear plugs helped the ears but the reverberations were palpable.

After the event -- it was only about 2:30 p.m. -- we headed for the Atomic Testing Museum.  The story of America's development and testing of atomic weapons was detailed with photos, movies, examples of equipment, interactive media, and more.  Jim was in his element; I found it interesting until the engineering elements took over.  It was a worthwhile stop.

Now I'm looking forward to a relaxing evening before our 15-hour bus trip to the Grand Canyon on Monday. 

More on Tuesday....
