Thursday July 19th we left Deer Park in Buffalo and traveled across the Big Horns (Rt 16) and made our way to Cody, WY This is a beautiful drive but lot turns and six percent grade for eighteen miles going up and then down but the scenery is worth it. We arrived in Cody and the Ponderosa RV Park About 3:00 PM and got settled in.
This is a very nice park and is close to all the downtown attractions.
Friday we took a ride north up the Chief Joseph Highway and up over the Beartooth Pass
(10,947’) where we saw lots of snow and more breath taking scenery. This is some of the best scenery since Alaska. We went on north to Red Lodge, MT where we had lunch and browsed a couple of shops. We then returned to Cody by the same route and took in the views from the other direction.
Saturday we went to the Buffalo Bill Historical Museum. This complex has five separate museums under one roof (Buffalo Bill, Natural History, Plains Indians, Western Art and the Cody Firearms Museum.) We were here four years ago and this visit was just as interesting as the first time. After dinner we went to the Cody Rodeo.
Sunday we returned to the Buffalo Bill Museum and finished what we didn’t see on Saturday. Later we went to the Proud Cut Saloon and had dinner. We then walked down to the Irma Hotel (Built by Buffalo Bill and named for his daughter) and sat and listened to a country band perform.
