Forever West

Last night we arrived in Cody, WY, the Rodeo Capitol of the World. A small frontier town with a Wild West spirit. It made us fall in love with the West as if we were there during the time of Buffalo Bill and Annie Oakley. We had dinner at Grannie's, a local spot recommended by the woman at the front desk, followed by a stroll around town.

This morning we woke up early and headed for Yellowstone, the world's first National Park and our last destination before Bellingham, WA. Go Roosevelt for declaring the world's first National Park and monument (Devil's Tower)! We snapped photos of Old Faithful and the Mammoth Hot Springs along with more bison, elk, and a slow moving turkey. As we watched Old Faithful erupt so did the love for the West in our hearts. Despite the rain we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. We can imagine the fathers of our nation riding horseback through the gulches and canyons wanting the land for themselves.

Now we chase the sun to where it rests below the horizon. See you soon Washington!
