Our first night in Cody we went to the Rodeo.  This is bronco riding.  They have to stay on for 8 seconds, and they get points for style.

It looks like it hurts to be whipped around like that.

This looks like it takes your breathe away.

This is calf roping for branding.

The girls run a barrel racing.

They said that most horses with run to the left rounding the barrels.  He told us that horses are mostly left handed. 

This is in the Cody Museum.  The firearms hall. There are tons of guns.

Wild Bill Cody lived in this little house here in Wyoming.

The next day we took a scenic drive into the hills. 

 

The mountains here are very eroded.  The shapes or unique.

We saw a fast river.  I can't remember its name.

Part of the drive was called after Chief Joseph.

This is Bear Tooth peck.

The Bear Tooth Mountains.

We ran into snow on our way up the road.  This road is in Montana.

There is a lot of snow up there. It was about 9000 feet.

The little lake up there was still frozen.

More of the lake.

We started down the mountain.  No more snow.

We have to get down there to that road.  The road was full of hairpin turns.

 

We're in Gillette right now.  We'll be here until the 23.  We are meeting all sorts of people.  We even ran into a man and his wife that your dad use to work with at LCE.  We haven't seen them since the 90's.

 

That's all for today.  I have a seminar to go to soon.  Love, Mom and Dad.
