We drove to Cody, Wyoming yesterday -- one of our longer drives of the trip at about 6 hours. And a good chunk of it was not highway driving, but rather winding through the mountains of Bighorn National Forest.
It was a beautiful drive. I have a few photos, but they are in the camera in our Cody hotel room, while I write this outside the main hotel office in the early morning hours. I don't want to go back and wake the fam, so you'll have to wait on the pictures.
Anyway, in addition to being a beautiful drive, it was also a bit taxing both for me as the driver and for "A" and Laura as the "Don't-Get-Sick-Despite-The-Winding" passengers. Accordingly, when we got to Cody, we mostly wanted to rest and didn't really take advantage of what Cody has to offer -- mostly the Buffalo Bill Museum.
Instead, Laura napped while "A" computed and I read. Then, we walked around Cody's main street looking at shops and tasting samples of buffalo sausage, etc. We had an early dinner, a soak in the hotels oversized hot tub, and went to bed early. Hopefully that will give us plenty of energy for our next four nights -- the first two in Grand Teton National Park and the second two in Yellowstone.
It is conceivable that I won't be blogging for all that time, though I'm hoping for at least brief internet access at some point.
One final word about Cody -- which sort of sums up what Cody is like. The "hotel" we are staying at is called Cody Cowboy Village. Hee-Haw!!

Glad to see you back in the bloggin' saddle. Looks like the Badlands aren't called that for nothing, but hey, it would be hard to top the butter festival. Us smug pencil necks on the East Coast (maybe that is just me?) are watching your progress with interest, impressed by your collective sense of adventure. Josh stayed with us and we really enjoy him. The poor guy had to answer my 2,500 questions about Berkeley...talk to you soon!
