Omak Stampede

Suicide race hill - you'd have to be crazy to ride bareback down and across the river

Unlucky on a bronc

Unlucky on a bull

Waiting for suicide race winner to enter the arena

We spent the weekend with Rikki's grandparents in Omak, Washington. They live in a nice, little log cabin and we had a great time with them. We slept outside under the stars in the back of '56 Chevy truck. We ate so much good food! We spent Saturday evening at the Omak Stampede for the rodeo and suicide race. Thanks to Rikki's local family connections we sat with her great uncle and aunt right above the bucking shoots. It was fun to watch them load the horses and bulls, sweat, snot, and all. The animals literally ran out of the arena right underneath our seats. Yeehaw!
