October 6, 2007 - Let it snow!

At our last posting the city of Cody got a lame mention. At the time of the blog, we had no idea how great of a town it really is. The hotel we stayed in which we loved, after a good night of sleep we loved even more!! We got a late start so we could enjoy the beautiful surroundings. On our way out of town, we got to appreciate the town for what it was even though all the rodeos were closed.

I can't remember the last time I saw a Starbucks or a Target. And for the record, if any of you are looking to move to Montana or Wyoming, don't sign up with TMobile. I've barely had cell service in 2 days. I am enjoying my texting with some of you when service comes through so keep in mind my timing may be off.

Along our journey today, we stopped off at Museum of Flight and Aerial Firefighting which I have to share with you. Some of you, especially my Dad will find these pictures interesting. The sign outside their visitors center was foreshadowing for our day.

We drove through Powder River Pass which was beautiful.
Here are a few photos for you to enjoy.

When we encounter fog, it's like nothing we can explain. Here's an idea of how bad it gets.

The day ended earlier than expected due to snowflakes that were the size of fists. We pulled over in Gillette, Wyoming...a very happening place off Route 90. There are 8 2-star hotels, a Taco Time, a Pizza Hut, and these fools are all asking $100 a night. We're sitting in a Hampton Inn. I ask you, who's the fool now?

***Question of the day***
What U.S. President said, the drive between the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park and Cody WY is the most scenic 50 miles in America?
