While most wagons arrive for a cookoff via truck and trailer, a few might actually roll in this year, as this team has in the past.
Dr. Harry Baxstrom of Bayfield, a longtime chuckwagon cook, pours a cup of joe at a recent Cattlemen cookoff.
The annual La Plata-Archuleta Cattlemen's Chuck Wagon Cook-Off is Saturday, July 25 in Durango. There will be eight wagons competing this year and all food will be prepared over open fires at the La Plata County Fairgrounds. Tickets are $20 each and are available at Basin Co-op.
