Cody

Cody, Wyoming was named for William "Buffalo Bill" Cody, who was involved in the founding of the town.

The Shoshone River flows through Cody in a fairly deep canyon. The area around the river is a city park with hiking trails.

This is the poster for Buffalo Bill’s show on Long Island, New York, in 1886 and 1887.

Thermopolis

We stopped in Thermopolis, home to numerous natural hot springs and Hot Springs State Park.

The “State Bath House” is open to the public for free as part of an 1896 treaty signed with the Shoshone and Arapaho Indian tribes.

It was really hot and felt great.

Buffalo, Wyoming

We left South Dakota and headed west into Wyoming. We spent our first night there in Buffalo. We were awakened in the morning by the sounds of animals outside the coach.

They were not Buffalos.
