Below you will find a few photographs from my weekend with the Vaqueros De Los Ranchos. These images are from the 2005 annual trail ride which was held on April 13 - 17. This years ride was held on the beautiful Campbell Ranch located east of Lompoc in California. This is not an official site for the Vaqueros. The Vaqueros is a private club made up of 110 men from the California Central Coast. Each member invites about three friends to attend the trail ride and share in four days of horseback riding, rodeo competitions, shooting, horseshoe pitching, fishing, socializing and plenty of fun . The club and ride is comprised of several camps that represent the local communities of Santa Maria, Lompoc, Los Alamos, Santa Ynez, Nipomo and Guadalupe. The annual trail ride has been happening since 1938. It is an event that is rich in history and tradition. On this page you will find a small sample of the images from this event.

Here I am with my new friends Kelly and Luke. That's me in the center. I would like to thank the Vaqueros for giving me the opportunity to participate in the ride. Please feel free to contact me at
