Day 5 - 6 (Cody, WY)


Arrived in Cody, WY late afternoon and stayed at the Ponderosa RV Park. We spent two nights here. Next morning we went to the Buffalo Bill Museum and spent about 5 hours there. It is made up of 5 different museums in one facility, four of which we went toured. The four we toured were the Museum of Natural History, Buffalo Bill, Plains Indians, and Cody Firearms Museums. The Western Art Gallery was closed. We took a break and found 4 caches in the area before visiting The Irma Hotel, which Bill Cody built in 1902 and had his Wild West Roughrider Show headquarters. Within this beautiful hotel we got to see the "famous" cherry wood bar which Queen Victoria gave to Bill Cody as a gift. We had a great time and really enjoyed this flavor and history of this special town.
