Vulture Mine Trip, Wickenburg, Arizona

We took our scheduled trip to the Vulture Mine in Wickenburg today and had a wonderful time. Weather was warm but with a nice breeze to keep you from overheating. Had a great gathering...Sam & Sue Angle, Cheryl & Ray Ritchie, Don & Charlotte Klein, (Larry)Smokey Kimmel,Richard & Cathy Hoaglund, Richard's mother Ann and Cathy's aunt Roxie. We did the walking tour of the mine, went to breakfast in Wickenburg at a nice little western cafe, hit a couple of antique stores in Wickenburg, a couple in Yarnell and home sweet home. Met at 6:30am in Prescott so it was an early, early day but we had a BALL! Wish everyone that wasn't there, would have been. It was a great adventure. Owners of the mine tour have asked us to come back and perform at their campfire bbq's they have. You know us-we work for food!
