August 27-29, 2017 Cody, Wyoming.

    Meeteetse, Wyoming on our way to Cody. The air is smoky so some of the familiar views are hazy.

Welcome to Cody. We scored one of the few shaded RV sites with a tree. We are happy.

My latest masterpiece has a turquoise center with two turquoise bears, a gold stone bear and a tiger eye horse. We are here to visit my high school friend Billie. We had dinner tonight with her and Glenn. Here are Billie and I splitting a bottle of red wine called Bitch! I love the back of it. It is good to see Billie.

This is the house we lived in when we lived in Cody. It was red then, but still looks good. The whole block looks pretty much the same, very nice. Main street on the other hand I don't really recognize anymore. The Buffalo Bill Statue at the end of main street, which is near the hospital I used to work in, which is much bigger and more modern.

There are deer all over town. This fawn posed for me by the road. Many painted buffalo are also around town.

I visited Lee and Jan Hermann this afternoon. Lee was the pathologist and my boss at my first job in the lab here. It was wonderful to see them and they doing well. Lee with his new mountain bike, which I am jealous of. He says the Cody bike club has built a lot of nice trails and they get out and ride a lot. We had dinner with Glenn and Billie again tonight at the local brewery Pat O'hara's. Yummy food, good beer. 

We were going to take off today and try to find a spot for Labor Day weekend, but Billie and Glenn invited us to drive to Redlodge, Mt with them. We had lunch at the Red Lodge Ales brewery. A view from the Beartooth Highway on the way back. 

More views from the Beartooths.

Wildflowers and a big mountain goat.
