We spent Sunday afternoon at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, enjoying lunch at the hotel he built, and checking out the town. We thought about going to the rodeo, but after three hours in the museum, we were just tuckered. We spent the evening enjoying modern technology and preparing for the next day's road trip; Sheridan WY by way of Billings MT...north to go east to avoid very high mountain passes. After all, we went south through NE to get to Seattle....

  1. It's too bad you didn't have more time in Cody. We spent two days at the museum. There are some neat caches around there too.
