| Next stop after Yellowstone
National Park was Cody. Before we got to Cody we drove out thru the East gateway and from there the scenic byway to Cody was sheer pleasure. Never seen anything like the walls of the valley, we drove thru - made me think of the Valley of Faraos in Egypt - |
| Then one
in the car mentioned something of food - maybe it was a good genuine American hot dog - and at almost the same time, a sign in the right side of the road said HOT DOG We had arrived to the small town of Wapiti where an elderly, smiling man had built a small hot dog house What a treat we were in for in the next ½ hour 'cause it took him that long to cook them, all the while he was talking about everything and some other regular customers came by and commented his tales. |
| Then it was off to the town of
Cody - first passing the Cody Dam, impressiv but eventually we arrived at the Irma Hotel on Sheridan Avenud right in the middle of town. We got the Simon Snyder room #29 and had a good view to the street, where the evenings gun fight would take place. But duty before pleasure, first we went to the impressive Historical Center of Cody |
| Then we met som nice people from
Powell mother Cheri and daughter Amy Burnett. Amy is attending a course in Odense University this fall and they wanted to be re-assured, that this adventure would go well. |
| Anette had arranged the meeting
at exactly 6pm, at which time the gunfight commenced, so they got a chance too to see gunsmoke.  Then we went to a small ice- or coffeeshop, where we talked for the next hour. and eventually we went down the main street and had some delicious ribs |
