My first ever rodeo. Cody presents this rodeo every
night except Sunday.
Interesting round rock formation just south of Cody.

We arrived in Cody, Wyoming on Monday July, 23 and had to make a beeline to a local RV repair shop to have our air conditioning fixed. It was 90+ degrees with a similar forecast so we had to get this job done. Turned out to be a fried wire and we were up and headed to the campground in about an hour and a half. Cody is a neat clean town we enjoyed staying in very much. I went to my first rodeo which offered a little more excitement than we'd really bargained for. We were sitting in the metal grandstands clear across the arena from the car about a half hour into the show when a thunderstorm blew up the canyon. Lightening everywhere! The show went on the whole time and although providing anxious moments we saw it through to completion. We met another couple from FL in the campground, swapped stories and went to dinner together. I golfed and Charlotte found a nice quilt shop to investigate. We also toured the "Old Town"one day and the Buffalo Bill Historical Center one day. Interesting old buildings and gravesites in "Old Town" giving a glimpse into the west of yesteryear. The Buffalo Bill Historical Center is an all day event if you can handle it. Full of history. We both felt like we could revisit Cody someday. Just felt good. Said goodbyes to our new friends from FL on Monday, July 30 and headed to Billings, Montana. Oh, forgot to mention. Charlottes bed went flat again, springing a pin size hole, leaving her practically bedless again. Called the company and had a replacement sent to our next destination.
