Cody, Wyoming

Downtown Cody



Buffalo Bill's childhood home

Driving home in the blizzard


What we came home to

One of the days we decided to go out of the East Entrance of Yellowstone and visit the town of Cody. It is a little old western town with a lot of charm. We ate lunch at an old saloon, it was pretty cool. It seemed that everyone knew one another in the restaurant. I guess that is what its like in a small town. After lunch we looked through a few shops on the main street. Then it was time to head to the Buffalo Bill Historical Museum which for who the town it named. Buffalo Bill's real name is William Cody. The whole story is pretty interesting and the museum has a ton of personal items belonging to Cody. They even have his childhood home at the museum. Since we were in a big toen we decided to pick up a few things at the grocery store: Super Wal-Mart. Larrs decided to go in, he came out an hour later. All he bought was paper towels, milk, and steak. When he came back to the car he said that was a huge store. Like put a regular Wal-Mart, Lowe's, and Home Depot together and that is a Super Wal-Mart. After that adventure,we decided it was time to head back to the park because it was getting late so we headed up the hill and as we got higher in elevation the weather got worse. This road going in through this entrance is being repaired, only one lane is in use. A pilot car takes you in either direction, so it takes a while to get up the hill. By the time we got home it was 7pm and we both were starving. Everything was covered in 4 inches of snow!!!
