Day 9 ~ Cody, Wyoming & Red Lodge, MT

Another sunny day here in Cody, Wyoming.  We are heading to Red Lodge, MT this morning, but first we must put Tanner and Frankie in the Doggie Day Care here in Cody.  We dropped them off around 7:45am, and off we traveled through the plains of Wyoming to the hills of Montana.  There it was, nestled in a ravine...Red Lodge, MT.  What a fun little town!  We had breakfast at the Historic Pollard Hotel.  We meandered around the town and enjoyed all the sights.  After our morning in Red Lodge, We drove to the Old Trail Town in Cody, Wyoming, which is a museum of the Old West.  Many of the buildings here were taken completely apart and moved to this site, the buildings date from 1879 to 1901.  Three of the buildings were used by the "Hole in the Wall Gang", including Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.  I must say, our stay here in Cody has given us the experience of the Wild West.  What a fabulous day.  We picked Tanner and Frankie up around 5:00pm and ended our day back at the RV with dinner and drinks...Now we are packing up so we can get an early start in the morning.

    1. Thank You Jeannine & Larry. We are having the time of our life! We talked with our cousins in Iowa and they were happy to report that the weather there is absolutely wonderful..mid 70's during the day and 50's at night. So far....So good!
