New Road Around Cody and Golf

One of the things I neglected to mention in yesterday's post was a short trip that we took on a road in Cody that we hadn't been on before. This road is actually only about 15 miles of paved road before it becomes packed and graded dirt for about another 15 miles before ending at a small town called Valley in the mountains. We took the truck out which we normally do about every two weeks in order to make sure everything is still in good running condition. The short trip was a total surprise to us as far as the beauty of the terrain and the number of nice homes and ranches tucked away on this short road. We took some shots of the Shoshone River views that we had along the way:

The terrain, as mentioned, was beautiful and there was a particularly interesting view of what is called Castle Rock:

We were just about at the end of the paved road and we discovered the sign below:

And the house that was situated on Josie Lane:

Not too bad of a home in the middle of nowhere.

We also had a different experience before we went to work yesterday. We have continually passed by this place coming and going through town and decided to give it a try:

This mini golf course is part of the park that sits at the edge of town and is across the street from the Buffalo Bill Historical Center that we visited before.

Below are a couple shots of us on the course:

Today is the rafting trip with Karen and George and we were a little concerned late yesterday when it appeared that a storm was brewing and might ruin our trip. It looks like it will be mostly clear though, based on the weather this morning. It should be an exciting trip and we will try to get lots of pictures along the way. Until tomorrow...
