Have been back about a week now from a visit to Wyoming. Cody in particular as that is where my folks live so it was time to have a short (4+ day) vacation to take my daughter to see grandma/grandpa. Thankfully got some reasonable tickets and flew from Salem, OR with a stop in Salt Lake then on to Cody. That saved us at least 4 hours of driving each day to catch or go home from airports.

While there is a bunch of things to do in that part of Wyoming, Cody itself has some interesting things going on. The gateway on the East side, Cody is about 50 miles from the East-Gate to Yellowstone. In Cody they have a Night Rodeo and from my folks house you can watch it (with binoculars) and you can hear it! We did not make it this time to the rodeo but will when we venture out again next year.
Grandma, daughter and I all went to Yellowstone to see 'Old Faithful' and take a drive through part of the par

Anyway, if you are out there in Wyoming land head to Cody and take in some Rodeo, do some rafting, go to Yellowstone and just relax. Things move pretty slow around there so you don't need to be in a hurry.
until next time.
