Yesterday we left Gillette, Wyoming (if you look on the map, it is north of Casper, Wyoming). Our drive took us through Powder River Pass where there was still snow on the ground. It was 41 degrees at 2:30 Texas time. We saw two moose with antlers. We saw lots of antelope along the way as well. We made it to Cody, Wyoming somewhere around 5ish Texas time. It looked like they had had a parade earlier in the day and that there was some kind of fair on the square equivalent going on here, but we missed most of that. We decided to hang around here in Cody and watch the fireworks show...it just wouldn't seem like Independence day if we didn't get to see fireworks right? Once I finally found the right setting on my camera, I took tons of pictures of the fireworks.
What we found out after we decided to stick around was that there were very few vacancies for hotels, but we landed in a beautiful room that had space enough for the kids to move around in. Here is a picture of it:
Our plans today are to go into Yellowstone, see some bears and bison, and take lots more pictures. We are planning on being in Laramie, Wyoming by this evening and then traveling on to the Rockies tomorrow.
