Cody, Wyoming

 We left Red Lodge and headed south to Cody, Wyoming and as we crossed the Clark’s Fork River,







Lewis & Clark, Sacagawea & Pomp waved goodbye and about the same time “Buffalo Bill Cody”showed up and welcomed us to Wyoming!

The city of Cody has grown a lot since we were here last. Lots of new buildings and shops. 

First thing this morning I had a free pancake breakfast at the RV Park that we are staying and then we headed to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. What a place! It is everything that Buffalo Bill did in his Wild West Shows plus so much history about the people who came and settled the western frontier. Display after display, artwork, Indians, guns, trappers, buffalo hunters and more! WOW!

Next we went to Old Trail Town. This is also quite a place!

They have old historical buildings and associated material that have been moved from where they were originally built and reconstructed at Old Trail Town and filled with original furnishings.

It was quite a morning!

Tomorrow we head for North Carolina 🙏

Beartooth Scenic Byway

 We headed up the Beartooth byway on a pretty morning. The car was loaded with Gaye, Dakota and me plus John Denver, Glen Cambell, Neil Diamond and my friend “Charles Kuralt”. Yes, Charles was my friend. Charles used to spend a week up on Grandfather Mountain every summer, a guest of Hugh Morton. That’s how we met and became friends. Charles in all of his travels proclaimed that the Beartooth Highway was the most beautiful drive in America. Any body that has ridden the highway would agree!  The Beartooth is closed in the winter and just opened for the summer season May 24! The highway winds around left and right, sharp turns with occasional scenic turn outs. Beauty is everywhere on the 60+ mile trip to Cooke City. It climbs to 10,954 feet!  Snow was 4’ or more! It was a great trip, not much traffic, and like I said beauty everywhere! We had lunch in Cooke City and headed back to Red Lodge on what I call the Heart Mountain highway. It is also a beautiful drive following th...

Badlands National Park

  Beautiful cool morning as we headed into the Badlands. Perfect time to visit, not many people this time of year. The road went up and down, left and right with lots of turnouts and overlooks with great view's. We exited the Park to go and see Wall and the famous Wall Drug. We have been seeing Wall Drug signs for 200 + miles. Quite a place. We had lunch and headed back into the Park. This entrance had some Buffalo and people were trying to get pictures of these huge animals. We headed west on a rough gravel road looking right and left for Prairie Dogs. We arrived at Robert’s Prairie Dog Town. They were all over the place but rather camera shy. Saw some more Buffalo. Cars were few and we exited the Park and headed to the town named Scenic. Scenic is basically a ghost town and we found nothing open. The place was right out of an old west movie. We left Scenic and headed back to the bus, 40 miles and very few Ranches or anything else.
