Across Wyoming We Go, Stops at Cody and Greybull

Farewell to Yellowstone…hello to civilization once again.  We left Yellowstone, exiting the East Gate and travelled along a super scenic highway to Cody, Wyoming where we stopped for a few hours to take care of some business.  Cody is a cute little town – founded by Buffalo Bill Cody back in the 1890s.  People are friendly and tourism is big.  There is a Buffalo Bill Historical Center in town which supposedly houses all things western.  We didn’t have time to tour the center as we were on a schedule, but we did stop long enough to take some photos of the surrounding area.  The Buffalo Bill State Park just west of town is huge and has one of the largest lakes I’ve ever seen – good camping for those you might be interested in the area. 

Then it was off to Greybull which is a very small town where you catch the I-90 going east.  We stayed at the KOA .  The owners were super friendly, the sites were well manicured and the pool was 85 degrees!   At 9 p.m. each night the town sounds a town siren signaling curfew for kids 16 and younger which I thought was unique.  But even more unique is that Greybull has an all-volunteer fire department. Not so unique you say?  Well, the average age of the firefighters in town is 78 year old and the rule is that if you can hear the siren, then you can serve as a firefighter.  Hmmmm.
