Imagine getting out of the tent and drinking that hot coffee as the sun rises over Scott's Bluff or some other beautiful spot. Set up the cameras and tripods and chat a bit while waiting for the right moment to snap the shutter. Toward sunset, take advantage of the "magic light" to work on some portraiture. Low key, relaxing, not too pricey and just good company and nice scenery. BTW, I saw my first (and only) rodeo in Laramie when I was a wee tike.
