Day 3 - Juvenile Bald Eagle in Teton N P

We stayed here at the cabin late enough to see the sunrise today. Neato. 🌄
Thermopolis Hot Springs -- Day 4

Nice WY state park around the natural hot springs. Went to the free bath house for our 20 minute allotment in 104 degree waters. Felt great! Walked the springs boardwalk after.
Old Trail Town ---Cody, Wyoming --Day 4

Old reassembled Western town with many gathered and donated historic buildings, equipment, portraits, and legends aplenty. www.oldtrailtown.org

Went to Thursday & Sunday meetings here. Met some new Friends. Carolena says she would love to have visitors, from VT, stay with her anytime. ;)

Extensive, excellent 5-in-1 museum.

Very informative Native American portion of the museum.

Yikes. Haven't these people read about all the Stupid People with horrible animal interactions in the news lately?! Guess not...

We truly believe we saw around 500 buffalo (bison) in about 5 mins.... This is just some of what we saw. Wow!
After the storm...

BEST rainbow ever for us-- just after a mild rain storm blew through. So very big and bright. Couldn't get far enough away to get the whole thing in one shot, but got the double when it appeared.
