That's great - I know y'all will have a wonderful time. If you get near Cody, Wyoming be sure to visit the Buffalo Bill Museum, it is extraordinary... it's not just about Buffalo Bill but all about the west... also, the town of Jackson is cool. Be sure to take a good rain jacket and a warm jacket at the higher elevations. Have fun!   ~ Tom

oh no problem there, Tom!  I've been in Idaho Falls for the entire spring and I KNOW how chilly it is here - the weather never lets up, and they are already calling it "The Year with No Summer."

We visited the Buffalo Bill museum in Cody on Roundup two years ago. It was very nice. I especially enjoyed the gallery of Western art.

And don't forget to visit the Irma Hotel.  :D

Went backpacking for about a month for two summers years ago.  I too have great memories and great pics of the region.  Staggeringly beautiful country up there.  Refreshingly cool summers.

But ain't hardly nobody live up there.  It was like 400 miles and about a dozen squished field mice between Stucky's

Our trailhead was Dubois, WY, just like in BBM.  ;D

And yes, we southerners were calling it "Doo Bwah" until the locals corrected our pronounciation to "Doo boyz".

Here's a "Pica" ... do you suppose it inspired that Japanese "Picachu" character from some years back?
