Field Trip to Cowtown Keelocko

Camera Club Field Trip

The Green Valley Camera Club provides many field trip opportunities. Paul and I took the excursion to Cowtown Keelocko, which is way west of Tucson, out in the country and down miles of dirt road. Ed Keelocko is a very interesting African-American man with red (now grey) hair and green eyes. After serving in Korea he came back to Arizona and built a ranch with lots of cattle and a few buildings. Those buildings have seen better days, but were interesting from a historic and photographic standpoint. Ed met us in his Blue Dog Saloon to share his story after we watched the video, which you can see below. The resident pigs, cows, turkeys and other livestock were interesting as well.

Afterwards, we drove more on dirt roads to have lunch at Fred's Arena Steakhouse, where we had delicious sausage burgers. This was another fun experience while in Arizona.

That's it for now.
