Shopping Scottsdale

After a nice Longhorn Steakhouse dinner last night and a good nights sleep we eventually awoke to coffee, bacon and eggs!

We headed out to Sportsman’s Warehouse only to find 3 other Aussies in the middle of the store – Trapper, Waco Kid and Savage Sam.

From there we headed to Bass Pro – one of the biggest and most interesting sporting goods stores and displays of taxidermy you could find.

Bass Pro – shooting, hunting, fishing

From here it was lunch and on to 2 Indian (motorbike) stores with the first a very opportune meeting with Ian aka J.D. Randall – used to shoot cowboy action and produce copies of leatherwork featured in Gun Digest and other old west gun books. His work is magnificent and he has one tooled holster and belt in the National Cowboy Museum in Oklahoma.

We walked away with a new bike jacket each and some great stories from Ian.

Rounding out the day with unpack, ironing, checking gear for the weekend and then headed to the Buffalo Chip Saloon for dinner.

Lots of people for the rodeo on a Friday night. This place is really full and different from our very early days of visiting here.

We didn’t stay for the rodeo and mutton bustin’ as it was still a little on the cool side and we have to get ready for the mornings early start.

It doesn’t look bus here but out back and then the next load of people that came in during the next hour it was packed.
Kat, Jack, Clancy, Marlboro Man, Lucky Strike Lass, Charlie Wagon, Pearl Starr and Big Iron Buster

Night ya’ll, see you on the range tomorrow.
