Moving on

June 3: Headed south on Hwy 90 to Ranchester, Wy. Yea! diesel fuel down to $4.51 a gal. best price since Ca. Then east on Hwy 14 which goes up the Bighorn Mtn. what a view from up on top loking back over the valley below. Not a good road for Jo but not much traffic so could go slow. It rained off & on all day. but nothing like last night's storm. We reached the summit which was 7700 ft. so saw plenty of snow and a lake which was just starting to thaw. Made it down the mountain, across some plains towards Wapiti which is the towards the East entrance of Yellowstone Park. Reached there about 5:30pm, just in time to have a drink in their bar and move on to dinner. Larry had ribs. Next day we loaded up the dogs and headed into Yellowstone about 30 miles but took us one hour. Beautiful red rock formations. We saw some big horn sheep and buffalo before we even entered the park. Followed the route around Yellowstone Lake which was still frozen around the edges. When we were there 3 years ago we did not make it to the eastern part of the park. When it was time to turn around the mile sign read 100 miles to Wapiti. We didn't get home until 7:30pm but had a great site seeing trip. As you know half the fun of Yellowstone Park is pulling over to view the animals. We pulled over to see a mother grizzly and her two cubs, moose with her baby, coyote,antelope,and even geese. The people at the campground had not seen a moose in 2 yrs so we feel very lucky. Weather wise we had sun, rain, wind, and snow.



June 5: Thursday morning moved back 30 miles to Cody,Wy. in hopes to escape the winds----NOT POSSIBLE. Found out the wind always blows in Cody. That night went downtown for the local gunfight between the bad guys and Buffalo Bill, Doc Holiday, and Wyatt Earp. Funcky but fun. Afterwards went into th Irma Hotel the Buffalo Bill built for the tourist trade back around 1900. The bar in the dining roonm was given to him by Queen Victoria after he had performed his Wild West Show in England. The following two days we spent walking through the Buffalo Bill's Historic Museum. They have five museums Natural History, Plains Indians, Gun,Buffalo Bill, and Western art. Larry and I figured two days for us was very good for 5 museums. Would recommend this to everyone.

Winds were really blowing. Getting a little tired of them.

Put pictures on here but can't find them. They must be in cyberspace. Still learning.
