Yesterday was a beautiful cool morning & we did 2 miles around the reservoir in Cody, WY before breakfast. At this altitude, 2 miles sure seemed like a lot!

After breakfast, we were off to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. What an amazing place for a town this size. There was a blacksmith doing a demonstration on the way into the museum. Once inside, there were five separate museums that are described in the literature this way:

* Buffalo Bill Museum - The life and legend of Buffalo Bill Cody.
* Whitney Gallery of Western Art - Famous artworks portraying the beauty and myths of the West.
* Plains Indian Museum - Native American cultures, art and heritage of yesterday and today.
* Cody Firearms Museum - A grand exhibition of thousands of rare firearms.
* Draper Museum of Natural History - Human and nature in the greater Yellowstone ecosystem.

Hard to see it all in only one day! More tomorrow.
