Up bright and early to tour the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. This is a huge museum complex featuring five different collections. We spent about 8 hours here as it was so very well done only leaving for about 45 minutes to take a lunch break and get away from sensory overload. We saw the largest collection of firearms in the world, The Buffalo Bill museum......now there was a guy larger than life.......prospector, bullwhacker, trapper, buffalo hunter, army scout, pony express rider, guide, producer of a wild west show and even has this town of Cody named for him. We also saw The Plains Indian Museum, Draper Museum of Natural history and for those who would enjoy more http://www.bbhc.org/
On our break we drove a short distance from Cody to tour the Buffalo Bill Dam Visitor Center which was named for ....you got it.....Colonel William F. Cody who spent many years promoting and attempting to raise money for his dream of irrigating arid acres from the Shoshone river....this dam was his realization of his vision for the town of Cody.
Tomorrow we head into Yellowstone for another busy day. Then we shall return to our fabulous lodge to rest up for heading home to Orygun.
Last night we were at Bubba's BBQ..........all smoked and wood fired cooking and lots of grease for your money..........it was good and after all we are in Cowboy Country where they consider beef the major food group. They don't eat any sissy food here.........Whew, over and out. Need to rest up before our 50 mile jaunt to Yellowstone tomorrow......Bonnie
