Cowboys and Indians

Posted by Fin on 3 December 2009

30 miles north of Phoneix, Arizona we found ourselves holed up at a cowboy ranch not far from Lake Pleasant. We took a break from the bikes for a few days and hung out with a real cowboy and girl, Rusty and Betty Hastings who own over 30 horses on a large ranch in the mountains surrounded by huge saguaros cacti and prickley pear. It didnt take Alex and I long to mould into the lifestyle, hanging out during the day, tending to the odd horse or two and sipping whiskey round the camp fire under the stars at night.

 

I enjoyed listening to Rusty, who must have been in his late 80s recite cowboy stories of old. He was mostly deaf from dynamite blasts during days working on construction and mining projects, but he had such incredible character and charisma when anything got tough he'd say in a croaky old southern accent, 'its like digging a shit house hole with a teaspoon'''. It made me laugh, reminding of how frustrated I sometime feel on the bike when faced with a 20 mile climb...
