2013 - Yellowstone and Beyond - Part 2 - Cody Wy

We had to say goodbye to Yellowstone and our friends Sam and Brenda (they were headed back to Longview) as we headed to Cody, WY.  During the next week we visited the Buffalo Bill Center of the West (made up of 5 museums), Old Trail Town (pretty much what it sounds like) and traveled up the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway and Beartooth Highway. 
 





Beartooth Mountain



 Larry and David visited the Japanese 'relocation' center at Heart Mountain while Beverly and Sophie opted to do laundry.  The girls met 2 couples from Canada who, when the wind and rains came and they were all closed up in the laundry room, likened it to having a party but without wine. From the way the Canadians were acting, the girls thought they may have had the wine before they got there. Later Larry and Beverly went to the gunfight in the street re-enactment while we elected to rest.  A highlight for David and Larry while in Cody was meeting up with their Longview friend Bart McCoy who took them trout fishing.



He has family in the area and spends time with them each year. Beverly and Sophie met up with the guys at Bart's nephew's house where Brett and Stella showed us great Wyoming hospitality with homemade tortillas and fish from the days catch.  Before we left Cody we saw 2 other Longview couples Bob and Sharon Holcomb and Bob and Jackie Berryhill who were visiting Bart. Just proves "It is a small world".

With Larry and Beverly leading, we say goodbye to the Ponderosa Campground and.......oh wait, there's a problem with our tow bar. No worries, David whips out his tools and has it fixed in no time. We're on our way again.......oh wait, Larry has a problem with the Auto Park brake on his RV.  We had traveled only 3 or 4 miles out of Cody and had just passed a repair shop. God always provides. Since this all happened on a Saturday it was Tuesday before the repairs were completed and we were on the road again. Although we had a great time of R&R while waiting, we decided in the future, we would not travel on the weekend.
