Yea, we have 2 days off so we decided to do some sightseeing. We left the coach about 11:00 with Buddy and Cissy in tow. We headed northeast out of Cody to make the drive along the Chief Joseph highway. Chief Joseph led the Nez Perce people out of Oregon trying to flee the US troops who were attempting to place them all on reservations. He and his people were able to elude the troops until October of 1877.
This was a beautiful drive. I love the snow and we began to see deer very quickly.
We had to stop for Bob to throw a few snowballs. You can take the boy out of Indiana but you…
This little guy was scurrying along.
It was so strange to see snow…and no snow.
As we went further, we entered the Shoshone National Forest.
The snow banks were so high in some areas it was hard to see over them to get some pictures.
While we are traveling northeast we are also climbing…our destination was Cooke City, Montana. The northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park is located 4 miles south of Cooke City.
Notice the top of the rail fence…what little you can see peeking out from underneath the snow. We have now made it to Cooke City, MT.
So do you think this is a car under the snow?
Cooke City has a population of 97 people. It swells to 120 during the summer. We ate at a little place called the Bistro and had one of the best homemade hamburgers/fries that I have ever had. This was a shot from our table.
Doesn’t everyone have a snow blower on their roof?
More to come about Yellowstone.
Moving on.
