Monday Sept 5: Day in Cody

      Cody was founded by and is best know for Buffalo Bill Cody, who romanticized the cowboy and the old west. It seems that everything in Cody is named after Buffalo Bill. There is Buffalo Bill hardware, Buffalo Bill nail salon, Buffalo Bill dam, and of course, the extra large Buffalo Bill Museum. I’ve got to say that this museum is extremely nice for a town this size. Not only did we see everything that Buffalo Bill ever owned; right down to his underwear and eye glasses, but we saw exhibits on the geology, climate, fauna and flora of the region and local Indian history, culture and art. It would take 2 full days to do the museum justice. We went through it in an afternoon.

     One of Sarah’s friends, Libby, had lived in Cody and she told Jan via Facebook not to miss out on eating at Bubba’s barbecue as it was a good place to eat and near Wal-Mart, so we decided to try it. It must have been a family affair as we were greeted and seated by a young lady about 12 years old who seemed to be very mature for her age. We ordered the combo chicken, ribs, beef, and pork barbecue for 2. The waitress brought out one platter that was piled high with just the barbecued meat and another platter with the rest of the goodies. To say the least, Libby had been right and we had delicious leftovers for a while.
