Cody and the surrounding area needs more than just a one night stop so we are here for three days. This morning, before we started out on one of our scenic route trips, we visited the "Historic Trail Town". It is a collection of buildings and relics of the Wyoming frontier. Local archaeologist Bob Edgar created Trail Town by moving 26 buildings built between 1879 and 1901 to the location that was once the site of original Old Cody City. Among the buildings are an old saloon, livery barn, blacksmith shop, general stores, post office and schools. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's "Hole-in-the-Wall" cabin is also located there. There are over 100 horse drawn vehicles and the original wagon trail. There are also Plains Indians materials, guns of the frontier, carriages, clothing and many other ... read more

Yes, somehow we managed to tick off Montana ('Big Sky Country') and Wyoming ('Like No Place On Earth') in just 5 days - not enough time to do them justice really. You can guess what's coming next - yes, more long, windy road with sweeping bends and spectacular views. Although I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear that our first day in the USA was a total wash out and we got soaked to the skin. We crossed into Glacier National Park and travelled along the inappropriately named 'Going to the Sun' road. We didn't see any sun and spent the whole time in a cloud, along with a hundred or so cars in a traffic jam negotiating the roadworks on the highest pass. The locals kept telling us how spectacular the views are on a ... read more

Day Two Now this is what I call touring...an action packed day with rain, scenery, high altitudes, great company, running into old friends, snow, drizzle and just down right fun. We left Thursday, June 18 from Billings around 8:30 am after having a time of sharing and devotions for the day. What a great bunch of riders who all have the same passion for motorcycle riding. The day started out overcast and on the way to Red Lodge we ran into rain showers, however, we made the decisiont before leaving to put on our rain gear. It was a wise decision and it kept us dry. Met up with Jon and Taylor at Red Lodge. They had a great night camping our in a cabin...it kept them dry. We spent about one hour in Red Lodge ... read more

6th June, 2009 Yellowstone to Cody, Wyoming. Freezing last night and just down the road the reason why, yes it had snowed again, so much for the spring (apparently it can snow here any time). Out of the park for the last time and still no bears, but thats life. Coming out of the park you go over Sylvan Pass, 8530ft, plenty of snow up there, and then down out through a long winding road, had to take it easy with the RV on the back wanting to push us down the hill. Twenty six miles and out of the park, and another 53 to Cody (yes they named this town after our grandson as well, only thing is they couldn't spell Cody, our grandson is spelt Kody). Nice trip out and we stopped at the ... read more
