Actually it is my first rodeo

Last weekend I went to my first rodeo in Gardiner, Montana, a town about 40 minutes away from the ranch and borders Yellowstone Park. Gardiner is a small town full of "river rats" so the characters in attendance were great for people watching. But when I wasn't distracted by the crowd and the $2 beer I watched some of the events of the rodeo. From what I could gather, the cowboys compete in a series of different events ranging from bareback riding, calf wrestling, hog tying, and bull riding. Afterwards, everyone went out to the Two-Bit Saloon and other bars for some two-stepping.
