Day 16 Gillette to Cody

Took my time getting going today. Did some laundry and went to the store for more supplies.

Drove through the Bighorn Mountains and then into a long flat stretch to Cody. The scenery was really nice but it was really hazy. There is a fire on the way to the Tetons, the roads are still open, but I may stay away. We will see what develops, I plan to be here for 7 to 10 days.

Had a nice beef brisket sandwich for dinner, should have brought the Puppums in, it was moist with no fat. Served on garlic bread. Trying to stay healthy once in a while I ordered coleslaw for the side, completely tasteless.

I am approximately one hour from Yellow Stone. Tomorrow I hope to get going early for some sunrise pictures. Then I will stop in at the Park Station to get oriented.

Took a walk around Cody this afternoon, lot of nice little shops. Selling souvenirs made in China. It is hot here I waited for the temp to drop to 93 before walking around


May not hear from me in a while, I have no idea what kind of Internet they have in the park. Most of the time I can receive e-mails but I can’t respond to them.

Day 15 Custer to Wyoming

Took another route to leave Custer and head to Wyoming. It looks like it is going to be another beautiful day.

Woke to a herd of Bison next to the campground. Had to wait for them to clear before leaving.

I entered Wyoming and the temperature went from 80 to 90 crossing the border.

I arrived at Devil’s Tower and took the walk around it was HOT. Saw a couple of climbers almost at the top.

After leaving there I thought I would make it to the Buffalo but stopped at Gillette instead.

Today after doing some chores I will head to the Bighorn scenic drive.

Hope you all have as great a day as I plan too.
