Lazy day - shopped for a couple of things, listened to the music jam at the club house for a bit and played dice with Clem & Marlene. My luck was mostly bad and Clem won both games that we played.

We took a trip to Wickenburg today with Clem & Marlene. After checking with the tourist info we toured the town a bit and then explored the Desert Caballeros Western Museum. I am not a huge museum fan but enjoyed this one. They had amazing examples of belts, horse bridles and quirts made out of horsehair - natural and dyed. Apparently they are knotted and/or braided - just incredible.
Next we went to the Robson Western Museum which is an odd mixture of farming, mining and “old west” stuff. One unique item was a 1912 Mack truck which still ran. There were the usual barber shop, dentist office, grocery store (mercantile) and newspaper office with printing presses. What was unusual was the abundance of items - like 20 or so old manual typewriters lining a shelf in the newspaper office. We had a very good lunch in the café there where, at first glance, we wondered what we were in for.
All in all another fun day.
Terry & I played bingo later but did not win any games.
