We only had 85 miles to drive, so the usual 8:30am departure was changed to 10 am and that even got pushed back due to the SNOW. This time is was real snow, the kind that accumulates...3” worth at least! The owner of the RV park was giving everyone some leeway with the 11am check out time. What a nice couple. They had just purchased the park about a month ago and according to Brenda were “still in training”. They have 33 spots and they were all full for the long weekend. There was a group of 4 Rv’s that come there every year to celebrate Memorial Day....they were having way toooo much fun!! There were 9 adults, 6 or more kids and I never could get a count on the dogs.
I really think Dan was taking pictures of all the different types of RV's sorting out the differences so he knows what we should buy next...just my thoughts...
But I digress. As usual Dan was out in the weather doing his thing with the trailer, he had to change clothes twice...snow can wreck havoc with staying dry. I know what you’re thinking, he doesn’t want a rain coat or poncho, believe me I’ve tried.
The cats weren’t too sure about the white fluffy stuff falling from the sky. Both had eyes the size of saucers when I carried them to the truck. Off we went, the Floridians driving in snow, slush and wind. We made it through town and to WY 120 north to Cody. As we climb it’s evident that the snow was sticking quite well as you can see...

Once we stopped climbing, there was no evidence of snow anywhere except on the highest peaks..a nice thing for the driver.
We stopped in the town of Meeteetse—“Meeting place” according to the Indians, to get a cup of coffee, of course, and some beef jerky. We found out that the cats just love, love, love jerky. Onward we go another 32 miles to our ultimate destination, Cody, WY.....
We make our way through town, past the Irma Hotel, Buffalo Bill built it for his daughter Irma, the Buffalo Bill Historic Center, guess what that has inside. Beside the obvious it has the largest gun collection on display. I just know that’s the only reason Dan wanted to come here. Not much has changed, past the DQ, one block to the Ponderosa Campground, right on the Shoshone River...did you notice the DQ is only 1 block away. I’ll probably be the size of Manhattan when we get back...can’t resist those Blizzards!

We set up camp and headed to the Irma for lunch then to Wal-Mart (OH BOY) and "home" for a much needed rest.
Stay tuned for more adventures in Cody...
