After leaving the mountains, we stopped in Sheridan for lunch and had a Walmart stop, just when I left my camera in the bus, a missed opportunity......People of Walmart.
We only had a light lunch, because we are stopping at Elk View Inn for pie in the afternoon.
The population of Cody is 8,800 and has a famous pub called The Irma.
Our cabin for the night.
The cheerywood bar given to Buffalo Bill by Queen Victoria ..
My chicken pot pie, needless to say, a big meal that was not finished.
I just love how the americans decorate, would just love some of these stuffed heads at home, very cheap here, only $125 for a deer head.
DH and I had a great evening we shared a meal with a couple from Buffalo. Sunset does not happen until around 9.pm, in this part of world.
After a restful night we were up and ready to go, first stop was The Buffalo Bill museum, where we had 2 1/2hrs ro explore.
The museum was well worth a visit and was very informative about the life of William Cody, fondly called Buffalo Bill.
Buffalo Bill was a showman as well as a scout for the US army. He performed one of the biggest circus extravaganzas and bought the Wild West ro the rest of the world. He had 5 children, but lost 2 of them at an early age.
Buffalo Bill was a hansome man.
One of the early wagon trains used in the Wild West.
What caught my attention was the sewing box and sewing machine that belonged to Buffalo Bill's wife.
A grizzly bear, only one that I saw!

I can see a quilt pattern happening here.
That concludes my visit to Cody, onwards to Yellowstone Nation Park.
