64th Annual Desert Caballeros Ride Parade - Wickenburg, Arizona.wmv
This footage is of the 64th Annual Desert Caballeros Ride Parade (April 19th, 2010 at Noon), which is the kickoff for the famous invitation-only horseback ride. The ride is steeped in Western Tradition, and takes the riders from Wickenburg deep into Yavapai County, ultimately returning to town at the end of the week. It is one of only a handful of places in America where you will see a major highway closed for horse traffic. Unofficial count for this year was 168 riders. The transition at 3:00 is because my camera (An old Canon PowerShot A80) has a cutoff at 3:00 of footage. Enjoy the parade!

Walnut Grove - 1890
According the State of Arizona 2009 Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan,
February 22, 1890, the most significant dam failure experienced in the State occurred in Walnut Grove. The dam failed due to overtopping and the ensuing flood caused an estimated 150 deaths and extensive destruction of property. The failure was blamed on inadequate capacity of the spillway and poor construction. Located 30 miles by river north of Wickenburg on the Hassayampa River, the dam was built to provide water for irrigation and gold placer mining. The rock fill structure was 110 feet high, 400 feet long, had a base width of 140 feet, a top width of 10 feet, and a spillway of 5-20 feet long. The lake was 2.5 miles long by one mile wide covering over 1,000 acres, an average depth of 60 feet. Based upon various accounts of the Walnut Grove Dam failure, the weather at the time was rain and melting snow. The day before the breach, water in the lake rose rapidly at the rate of about one and one-half foot per hour. The spillway was enlarged to allow excess water to escape but the effort was insufficient to stop water from running over the top. A sheet of water three feet thick reportedly poured over the dam top for six hours. Between 1:00 - 2:00 A.M. on February 22, 1890 the dam broke and the lake drained in one to two hours. The water rushed down Box Canyon, a narrow, steep canyon in a body 80 feet high. Floodwaters reached Wickenburg, 30 miles downstream in two hours and was reportedly still in a column 40 feet high.
I invite you to read Arizona's Worst Disaster - The Hassayampa Story - 1886-2009 by Jim Liggett. Copies are available at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona.
Two important men were directly involved in the incident:
W.O. Bucky O'Neill, the Yavapai County Sheriff, is a legendary historic figure who served with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders. Read Rough Rider: Bucky O'Neill of Arizona by Dale L. Walker for more information about O'Neill important role in Arizona history.
Alexander Brodie was employed as the superintendent of the Walnut Grove Dam. Brodie went on to serve with Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders. He served as Territorial Governor of Arizona from 1902 to 1905.

Scottsdale's Museum of the West and some Old Town Scottsdale art
Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West is located in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona on the former site of the Loloma Transit Station (N Marshall Way and E 1st St), and opened in January 2015. The two-story, 43,000-square-foot museum features the art, culture and history of 19 states in the American West, including Arizona. According to museum Director Mike Fox, “We are not a museum of objects, but a museum of ideas.
Scottsdale (O'odham: Vaṣai S-vaṣonĭ; Yaqui: Eskatel) is a city in the eastern part of Maricopa County, Arizona, adjacent to the Greater Phoenix Area. Named Scottsdale in 1894 after founder Winfield Scott and incorporated in 1951 with a population of 2000, the 2015 population of the city is estimated to be 236,839 according to the U.S. Census Bureau.[4] The New York Times described downtown Scottsdale as a desert version of Miami's South Beach and as having plenty of late night partying and a buzzing hotel scene.[5] Its slogan is The West's Most Western Town.[6]
Scottsdale, 31 miles long and 11.4 miles wide at its widest point, shares boundaries with many other municipalities and entities. On the west, Scottsdale is bordered by Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and unincorporated Maricopa County land. Carefree is located along the western boundary, as well as sharing Scottsdale's northern boundary with the Tonto National Forest. To the south Scottsdale is bordered by Tempe. The southern boundary is also occupied by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, which extends along the eastern boundary, which also borders Fountain Hills, the McDowell Mountain Regional Park and more unincorporated Maricopa County land.
