July 4th the day of Independence!!

What a great day we had today! We left Hay Springs with a very wonderful tail wind that helped push us right along!! On our ride we ran into this wonderful little place called Carhenge, it was like the stone henge only made out of cars. So there we took some pictures talked to a nice couple traveling and played with the very cute kitty!! The morning was like the rest, same old scenery and flying with the wind! Our speed brought us into Alliance very quickly and because it was the 4th of July there was not much for food options. So we stopped at a little Mexican place where we both got BBQ sammys ahhahaha!! They were delicious. After lunch it was on to our destination which was suppose to be Angora. So as we start to see Angora we notice there is nothing there but a bunch of old boarded up buildings. We were both feeling really good and decided we would push our miles to about 86 and stop in Bridge Port. This was a very good decision. This city is full of much history, the Oregon Trail, California Trail, Mormon Trail and Pony Express were a few trails to run through this great American City! we stopped a small history museum and look around and talked to the nice lady who told us of a few places to get some ice cream. So we were out to find some dairy deliciousness! There we started talking with a nice older couple about the rodeo that was in town and they told us about their grandson who was 2nd in the world for steer wresting. Steer wrestling is something I had never heard of and was very intrigued by the who dealing of such an event. This got me very interested in the rode and I had to see it. So Chance asked about camping and they told us we could camp right at the fair grounds with those folks in the rodeo! This was awesome! We were camping right next to some nice fellas who were part of the wild horse racing. Again something I had never heard of and I come to find out it is a very intense and dangerous sport. I was so very excited to see the rodeo and Chance just laughed at me.. I got my camera ready and watched the rodeo after getting a wagon ride from John and his father around the fair grounds! We got to sit in box seats right by the shoots so we could see all the action! I took lots of pictures and you will all be able to see them at a later time! The rode was wonderful and the best thing I could be doing on the 4th of July. It was so great to meet all these wonderful people watch the rodeo, fire works and celebrate the freedom we are so lucky to have but so many take for granted. So to all of you out there who are so very brave and are fighting for our freedom and for all of those who have lost their lives or loved ones Thank you for allowing us to live the life we live today!! God Bless America, it is truly one beautiful country and I am proud to live here!!
