One month ago today, we were headed for the Rockyford Rodeo in Alberta.
That was a GREAT day indeed. I set out early that morning from Fort Macleod where I´d spent the night. I headed north, back across the prairie towards Calgary and Rockyford. I made several stops along the way to visit Brokeback locations. I arrived in Rockyford around noon and manage to spot Pete and David from a distance. I recognised them from pictures I´d seen posted here. Pete asked me how I was able to recognise them and without thinking I answered "your height".
Awkward moment -- checked)
But we had a really good time together, watching the rodeo and waiting for the rest of the group to arrive.
The first person I saw was Chuck with his cowboy hat. Yay! It was great to see everyone again. Hugging and greetings ensued.
Then we spent the rest of the day at the rodeo - talking, drinking and checking out the cowboys. When it started to get late, we got back into our cars and headed towards Calgary where we´d spend the night. I still had my own rental car at that point, so I followed (stalked) Paul's car to the Travelodge hotel in central Calgary where he´d been before.
I didn't have a reservation at that point, but everything turned out fine as RouxB had a free bed in her room. I slept like a baby that night, knowing I was in the company of a whole herd of Brokies and that we had an entire week of fun ahead of us.
wow..I guess that´s what's called reminiscing.
But that was one of my favorite days so I felt like sharing
