It was Buffalo Bill all day. We spent the morning at two of the 5 museum's in the museum complex. Lots of changes in the 30 yrs since we last visited. Besides being a large western museum; it's now affiliated with the Smithsonian. The Plains Indian Museum was interesting; a wonderful integration of old and today.
intriqued by this barb wire sculpture:
We took a break and went to their Raptor Talk. This was a short-eared ground owl. It can hear a mouse a football field away.
A fun exhibit 1959
For lunch we picked up sandwiches, driving out to Buffalo Bill Lake and dam. Kept a careful eye out for snakes.
Returning to our dismal Moose Creek Lodge room - the only thing going for it was very, very clean and walking distance to downtown. It had one view, of the alley and a HVAC that could freeze meat. We were desperate for warmth, opened the door to let 90*+ air in.
We walked a few blocks to Irma's for one of the best prime ribs ever! The building is a hotel built by BB and named for his daughter. Why I didn't take a pic of the elaborate bar, given to BB by Queen Victoria is beyond me; guess i was so dazzled by the Harley Boys - who dominated the bar. Sturgis rally is in a couple of weeks.
Cody is about 9800 people, situated on the bluffs above the Shoshone river.
Goodbye Cody
