Wells, NV

Turning off the interstate north to Idaho. Goodbye nicely paved road!
Overnight stay

We spent the night at an RV park at Cactus Pete's Casino in Jackpot, a small town on the border between Nevada and Idaho. It was actually quite a cute little place with grass and trees, and perfectlyLeggi altro
Idaho

Southern Idaho looks like a whole heck of a lot of nothing
Driving Day #2

The first stop of the day for road construction. Yippee! As a bonus, we got to pass over the Snake River Canyon which was SPECTACULAR.
Books

Listening to Stephen King's Desperation on the open road - creepy!

Driving into Cody

We opted to stay several nights at Buffalo Bill Reservoir North Fork Campground for the duration of our time in Cody, Wyoming. It's about 15 minutes outside of Cody and sits on a beautiful man-madeLeggi altro
Irma Hotel

First stop was the Irma Hotel, the original historic hotel that Buffalo Bill built in the early 1900s in the middle of nowhere, to start attracting people to his new tourist town of Cody. It's builtLeggi altro
Trolley Ride

We signed up for a tour of Cody by trolley. They took us back to the foundation of the town and what Buffalo Bill had in mind when he established the town. The population is only about 9,000 peopleLeggi altro
