Sundance WY to Cody WY

Devils Tower, a rock formation found outside Sundance Wyoming.Sundance is where the Kid got his name. This is a formation that is all by itself. It was the first National Memorial in the US.
Another view of Devil's Tower. This is in the Black Hills which are sacred ground for the indians.

This is where we ate lunch on Monday. Not everyone can say they ate lunch at the Crazy Woman Cafe in Ten Sleeps, Wyoming. The indians measured distance in the number of nights it took to get from place to place. The area was 10 nights or sleeps from each of their primary camps. Thus the name Ten Sleeps.

Monday night we attended a real Wyoming rodeo in Cody. It was a little chilly in the eveining, but the rodeo was fun to watch.


This was a bull rider that could not hang on.
Wyoming is a very diverse state. We started out from Sundance which is on the east side of Wyoming and located in the Black Hills. We went from mountainous to beautiful farm land to desolate rough countryside and back to mountains. This is definitely cattle country and we saw a cowboy on the range working his cattle.
