Buffalo Bill Cody

We left Thermopolis and had a leisurely drive up to Cody with a short stop in historic Meeteetse. This western town still has wooden boardwalks in front of buildings dating to the turn of the century.  Butch Cassidy once lived in the area (where hasn’t he lived?) and they are proud of the fact that Amelia Earhart visited the town and planned to build a home here until her fateful flight. Also the black-footed ferret, once thought to be extinct was found here and its population is now growing.  But it is Sunday and we learned all this from bill boards since all the museums and stores were closed.

We parked at the Ponderosa Campground and walked into town for a quick tour of the main street then headed to Bubba’s for BBQ.
