Cody and Joyvagen

September 17 – September 20, 2018

We left the campground in Teton National Park early in the morning. It was perfect timing because we saw 3 moose on our way out of camp. We’d been hoping to see moose all week. We were headed for Cody, WY.

The trip through Grand Tetons and Yellowstone was beautiful.

While in Cody we visited the Buffalo Bill Center of the West which is comprised of 5 museums: Buffalo Bill, Natural History, Plains Indians, Whitney Western Art, and Cody Firearms. My favorite was the Natural History and Western Art. Lenny enjoyed the Firearms Museum and History.

Our second day in Cody was supposed to be laundry day. Lenny had other plans. He had contacted Chris at JoyVagen about a new bike for me. I was reluctant to try a new bike because, “I love my bike!”. I’m so glad we visited Chris and his awesome shop. I took a Salsa Journeyman out for a test ride after Chris patiently tweaked the seat and stem for me.

This bike was such a pleasure to ride that it was easy to convince Lenny he should have one too.

We are now headed for Thermopolis, WY to soak in the hot springs.
