Trip - Day 7


July 19, 2017

So we left Yellowstone by way of Fishing Bridge https://www.nps.gov/yell/planyourvisit/explorefishingbridgelake.htm  and the East entrance.  On our way, we saw more Bison, antelope and pelicans!

The land outside of Yellowstone was National Forest, and just as spectacular as Yellowstone.  We made our way to Cody, Wyoming http://www.cityofcody-wy.gov/, where we spent 3 and half hours touring the Buffalo Bill Museum Center of the West https://centerofthewest.org/.  It was amazing.  There were several sections, including the Draper Natural History Museum, the Buffalo Bill Museum, the Plains Indian Museum, the Whitney Western Art Museum, a section about the original curator, McCracken, a sculpture garden, an aviary for raptors, and more.  The admission fee was a little high at $19, but it was good for two days.  Of course, we only had part of one day, so we missed a lot but it was a phenomenal museum! We had lunch there before getting back on the road.

We drove on to Casper http://www.casperwy.gov/  through Thermopolis http://thermopolis.com/ to spend the night.  We had a good hotel, and walked next door to a Mexican food restaurant.  

It was good to once again have internet access and access to TV.
