Cody Wyoming

After spending a couple of quiet nights in Buffalo, we came over the Big Horn Mountains on Highway 20 on our way to Cody. Beautiful scenery all along the way. The diesel did a very good job pulling us up and over the mountains (over 9600 feet) in altitude. There was still snow on some of the slopes. Wow!! Snow in July..not something this southern girl has seen recently.





We pulled in on Wednesday to the Pondersosa Campground. This park is located right in the city very convenient to everything in town. And the price reflects that #32.00 a night. Yipes...we'll need to balance that out later this summer to keep our costs within budget. (Since we've blown the budget this week). But, this area is in full vacation mode and nothing is cheap. Cody is on the highway 16 the only route into Yellowstone from this part of Wyoming. Buffalo Bill planned it that way. On Thursday morning we took a Trolley ride around town. The owner/guide gave us a good overview of the town of Cody and it's history. That afternoon we went to the Wild West Miniature Museum. This free museum has dioramas in miniature of many of the important events in history for Wyoming and southern Montana. There is also quite a display of Indian clothing, household items, weapons and more.
