Cody to Custer

Again, before we start, it's time for another healing finger update. Probably the last time, at least for a while. Now that that's done, Here are some pictures to give you a touch of the scenery between Cody, Wyoming where we stayed after spending a cold evening waiting for Old Faithful in Yellowstone. We were here on our "family vacation" of 1976, and Georgia really loves Cody. Although we "breezed through" and had to get on the road to cross the Bighorn Mountains, we did get to see the "Buffalo Bill Trail Town", a replica of the old west and some fantastic lifesized bronze sculptures. The sculptures were very like the Remington Art of the old west. These life sized sculptures are all around their gallery. Their website is: http://www.mtgcody.com/

The scenery changed as we went east from Cody, with sparce "grassland" (where the antelope roam). Then we hit the Bighorn Mountains. After that we finally got back on the interstate. That was good because it was getting dark. We arrive in Rapid City, ready for a good night's sleep. You Illinois people; I don't want to hear you complaining about the wind. Have you ever been to Rapid City??? It is windy! Today was a short trip to Mount Rushmore and back through Custer State Park where we were flooded out when camping in 1976. Saw lots of Buffalo poop there, but no Bison.. Did see a few wild turkeys and deer. As usual. there will be many more pictures for my facebook friend.
