    True Wild West, Cody WY

     June 26, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
    1

    Cody is a wild west town steeped in history and named after Buffalo Bill Cody who developed the town and poured significant amounts of money into it. The hospitality here is second to none and the towns people are extremely proud of what they have.
    Noela and I started the day with breakfast at Granny’s a great traditional diner with really wholesome and good value meals. From there we singlehandedly tried to add to the Cody economy as we found some great western outfitters for shoes , boots and clothing. A mandatory visit to Cody Harley Davidson and a coffee at a genuine espresso coffee shop.
    Carl and Paola headed back into Yellowstone to Mammoth Springs and Roosevelt to chase down more of the elusive bears in the area and returned having seen 3 bear at various distances.
    We all joined a tour at 3.00pm that ran for an hour. The tour was on a trolley bus and gave a very informative talk on the history, the population and the economy, again highlighting the pride that the locals have in their town.
    Tonight, we will witness a mock gunfight at the Hotel Irma Bill Cody’s old Saloon and hotel before heading over to the stampede stadium to see the daily Rodeo. Cody claims to be the rodeo capital of America.
    Then its time to hit the road again and move into Montana and Washington state.

    More to come on the Rodeo.    Read more

    Rodeo Time, Cody WY

     June 26, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    Shoot out at the hotel Irma was a bit corny but they re-enacted a shoot out with Butch Cassidy and Wyatt Earp. There was a big crowd and it certainly entertained the kids.

    One of our things to do in Cody was the rodeo that is held every night in summer. We were picked up by the Cody rodeo bus and taken to the rodeo grounds on the western end of town. We had great sets directly over the shoots.

    It was an entertaining night with several Aussies competing so they received a special cheer. If you ever go to Cody this is a must do event.    Read more

    Geysers and geesers, Yellowstone NP

     June 25, 2018 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

    Jackson is some 50 miles South of Yellowstone NP so we got an early start as there was plenty of things that we wanted to see on this visit. Our first encounter for the day was a group of Bison right next to the road, several cars were parked too close to them and the Bison soon spooked. We can see why people get gored by them given the amazing turn of speed and agility that a couple of them displayed, one even jumping a fence,
    We continued into the Teton NP and then to the South entrance of Yellowstone NP in good time. We again were thankful for the annual park pass that we purchased on day one this pass has saved us a couple of hundred dollars already.
    Our first stop was at West Thumb where we walked a board walk around a collection of small pools of geo thermal activity. This site bordered the lake and these vents were even in the lake bubbling their hot water into the freezing lake water. We were pretty amazed by this but there was bigger to come.
    We headed into Yellowstone village where most people just go to see “Old Faithful”, I had read about another location at the back of this geyser, so we took that boardwalk that went for about 1.5 miles. Absolutely stunning views and geology with water filled vents bubbling and boiling with different colours based on the bacteria or minerals present. There literally hundreds of these and they all had views to old faithful which as an added bonus erupted whilst we were there.
    Our trip continued taking in other sites like Black Sand basin, Fountain Paint Pot, Grand prismatic Springs, The Mud Volcano, The Sulphur Caldron, Firehole Canyon Drive along with other stops to view water falls, rapids and canyons. All of these sites offered something different and were on the southern loop road. We stopped for a late lunch at Canyon Village and then moved into the Hayden Valley our exit road to Cody Wyoming. Bison grazed in the fields, more photos were taken and we ooed and ahhed at the vistas. We came around a bend with a group of vehicles parked and all of a sudden, the car exploded with the shout of GRIZZLY and eagle eyes Noela spotted the elusive beast on a distant ridge. It was a long way off but still close enough to identify. After 15 minutes of bear gazing we continued and soon enough we exited the park.
    Our drive continued, and we recapped the day like kids on a school excursion just near the town of Witica it happened, another innocuous group of cars. There she was another Grizzly along with her two cubs blissfully feeding with the cubs playing. This time though she was 50 to 75 metres away, close enough to make sure that while taking photos you had a clear escape path. We must have been there for about 45 minutes until some peanut drove his car up to them and upset mum. Carl did not want to leave but we dragged him kicking a and screaming back to the car.
    Finally, we got to Cody at around 6.45 feeling pretty happy with the days events. But guess where Carl and Paola are going back to tomorrow morning………….Yawn, see you tomorrow.    Read more

    Cody, Whyoming

     August 27, 2015 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Rano nas cekal presun zpet do Yellowstonu. Dve hodky jizdy utekly jako voda a dneska cheme objet horni yellowstonsky okruh. Vecer mame v planu rodeo v Cody, Whyoming a tak jsme celou cestu propocitavali v kolik z jake vyhlidky musime vyjet abychom to vse stihli.

    Je opravdu zajimave jak je Yellowstone rozmanity. Opet jsme meli pocit, jako kdyby jsme vjeli do uplne jineho narodniho parku. Hezka priroda, mohutne hory, bublajici jezirka a gejziry. Videli jsme i kaskadova lavova jezirka, ktere Adelce pripominali chorvatske Pamukale.

    Vse jsme stihali naprosto presne dle naseho casoveho harmonogramu. Je zde spoustu k videni a ruznych zastavek, takze jsme meli plan pripraveny na minuty. Pri odjezdu z parku nas zastihlo mohutne krupobiti. Nic takoveho jsem v zivote nevidel a fotka zde asi dostatecne nevystihuje co se delo. Behem 2 minut se vytvorila asi dvou centimetrova vrstva snehu/krup na silnici. Ridime se dle hesla, ze nejrychlejsi je auto z pujcovny a jedeme i pres tento necas k mestecku Cody. Na silnici jedeme uplne sami jelikoz ostatni auta zastavuji a snazi se bouri preckat, my na to v nasem casovem planu nemame misto.

    Presne v 7PM se dostavame k Cody Stampade, tedy stadionu urcenemu pro rodeo. Nakupujeme cowboysky klobouk, korale a jeste se fotime na bykovi. Show zacina a je naprosto uzasna. Ruzne vekove kategorie, holky i kluci, se stridaji ve vsech rodeo disciplinach. Od jezdeni na divokych mustanzich, soutezi ve svazovani telatek az po opravdove rodeo na ruzzurenych bycich. Adelka zavira oci pri situaci, kdy se asi deseti lety chlapec sviji v bolestech po zasahu bykem do nohy pri neuspenem pokusu se na nem udrzet po dobu 8 sekund. Rodeo bylo jednoznacne “highligh” dne a urcite to stoji za to videt na vlastni oci.

    Jeste nejsme uplne unaveni a tak si “najizdime” dve ste mil k Mt. Rushmore, kam se chystame zitra. Motel nachazime za $59 ve mestecku Sharidon. Usiname asi behem jedne minuty. Je to hrozne, clovek si na dovolene vubec neodpocine. Ale i presto je to tady uzasne.    Read more

    This is what your skyline looks like in Cody. This town is sparkling clean. Everything is fresh, like paint on the curbs, or new, like the government office of commerce and the community playground next to it. I got groceries and gas and headed for the park.Read more

    Cody, Wyoming

     June 28, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 11 °C

    Die gut 200 km bis Cody in Wyoming mussten wir leider auch bei um die 10 Grad absolvieren. Dort erwaterete uns mit den Buffalo-Cabins ein Bungalow im Holzfällerstil und ein Restaurant mit deutschstämmigen Wirt der zwar um diese Zeit nichts zum Essen hatte aber Bier aus dem Stiefel.
    Die Stadt Cody wurde von Buffalo Bill gegründet der eigentlich William Cody hieß und deshalb gibts hier auch Buffalo Bill-Theater-Aufführung auf offener Straße und ein Buffalo Bill Museum.

    Weil Buffalo Bill, der eigentlich Bote war beim Pony-Express (Paketzusteller per Pferd) im Bürgerkrieg die Truppen mit Bisonfleisch versorgte, erhielt er den Spitznamen Buffalo Bill. Danach wurde er Kundschafter fürs US-Militär bis ein Journalist über sein spannendes Leben berichtete.
    Buffalo Bill wurde bekannt und gründete die "Buffalo Bills Western Show" und es gelang ihm, den echten Häuptling Sitting Bull als Mitspieler zu gewinnen. Die Show war so erfolgreich, dass sie 1890 auch Auftritte in Europa hatten und mit 30 Eisenbahnwagons mit hunderten Indianern, Cowboys und Pferden nach Braunschweig, Bremen, Paris und Wien kamen.

    Cody

     September 18, 2002 in the United States ⋅ 10 °C

    Vroeg genoeg vertrokken om in Grand Teton NP nog een hike te kunnen maken. Even langs het dorpje Kelly om naar de aardverschuiving te zien die in de jaren 1920 2 jaar een dam vormde en uiteindelijk met een vloedgolf het dorpje overspoeld. De plaats hebben we niet gevonden, wel een schamel hoopje geweien en skeletten aan een voordeur. Duidelijk self supporting hunters.
    Een mooie regenboog onderweg bracht hoop op het einde van de regen.
    In Colter bay area een hike gedaan 3 mijl in 1u10’, we zagen mooie zichten, veel squerls (eekhoorns) en shipmunks. Het was fris en winderig en af en toe regende het, de bergen hadden sneeuwtoppen en minder wolken dan gisteren.
    Rond de middag reden van Grand Teton NP naar Yellowstone NP dat slechts 7,5 mijl uiteen ligt. Via de South entrance kwamen we het park binnen, wat ons meteen opviel warende vele dode bomen. Dit ten gevolge van een grote brand in 1988. Gelukkig zag je ook de hergroei van vele jonge sparren en het gras ertussen met herfst gekleurde struiken ze leken op bosbesstruikjes. Op grote oppervlakte groeide ook zeeuws knoopje met witte bloemetjes.
    Ter hoogte van Lewis Lake, tussen Tetons en Yellowstone, gingen we picknicken , toen we stopten scheen eer voorzichtig zonnetje, tegen dat we uitgepakt waren sloeg het weer om en met stormwind op het meer en schuimkoppen zoals op zee. Dus vlug terug ingepakt en geluncht in de wagen. Zo was het de hele dag, zon, regen, zon, regen…
    We sloegen linksaf naar de ‘Lower, Midway and Upper Geyser Basins’
    Wolken damp die opstijgen uit de grond, peilloze diepten in turkooizen poelen, pruttelende, borrelende warme bronnen: prachtig.
    Verder tot aan Old Faithfull Inn, het grootste cabine gebouw uit 1904. Enorme hal en helemaal gerestaureerd.
    Vanop het terras zag ik de uitbarsting van de geiser op 16,30u, om de 75’ heeft deze geiser een uitbarsting, deze is tussen de 30 en 35 m hoog!
    Onze eerste kudde bizons lag te rusten op het centrale plateau naast de weg naar Firehole lake.
    We wachtten een kwartier naar de uitbating van de Great Fountain geiser maar die kwam niet, wat opspattend water en veel gepruttel. De Castle geiser deed het wel heel mooi!
    Na de Firehole lake drive moesten we helemaal terug omdat de weg hogerop afgesloten was wegens werken. Onderweg zagen we elks en nu zag ik goed het verschil tussen elk en deer. Behalve de grotere oren is een deer veel kleiner. Een elk is ons hert en een deer is onze ree.
    In de vroege avond reden we helemaal terug langs het Yellowstone lake dat het grootste alpine meer zou zijn. De tinten blauw waren onnoembaar zeer verschillend en adembenemend.
    Toen we naar Cody reden zagen we een prachtige zonsondergang in de bergen, de toppen leken wel van vuur. Een daling van 3000 Ft op 5 mijl in het bijna donker gaf geen gelegenheid deze schoonheid te fotograferen of zelfs ervan te genieten. Jammer, maar het duister valt snel in de bergen.
    We moesten nog een uur rijden met af en toe een lichtje op de bergen waarschijnlijk ranches. Gelukkig vonden we ons hotel gemakkelijk. Tegenover het hotel lag een Pizzahut en we waren blij met een lekkere pizza, het was toch al vrij laat om nog veel te eten.    Read more

    Heute ist unser letzter Tag durch den Yellowstone Nationalpark. Wir fahren nochmals durch den nördlichen Teil, begleitet von ein paar einsamen Büffeln und Reh Familien. Die Landschaft wird immer weitläufiger. Beeindruckende Blicke in die Ferne, die aber auf keinem Foto so richtig rüberkommen.

    So langsam freuen wir uns auf etwas mehr Zivilisation. Im kleinen Cowboystädtchen Cody kommen wir am Nachmittag an. Unser Hotel ist ganz hübsch, sogar mit Aussenpool.    Read more

    Cody die Stadt von Buffalo Bill

     September 11, 2017 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    Cody ist ein süßes aber verschlafenes Städtchen mit Wild- West Romantik. Die Stadt wurde 1896 gegründet. Namensgeber der Stadt war William Frederick Cody (1846-1917). Er war besser bekannt unter seinem "Künstlernamen" Buffalo Bill.

    Eigentlich war Cody ein Büffel Jäger, der Millionen von Büffeln im Indianergebiet für die Versorgung der Arbeiter der Eisenbahngesellschaft getötet hat. Damit kam er zu zweifelhaften Ruhm. Sein Leben wurde in Groschenromanen mit dem Pseudonym Buffalo Bill verwendet.

    Cody wurde damit bekannt, zog das Leben aus den Groschenromanen als Wanderzirkus auf und reiste damit um die Welt. Er war 1890 sogar in Deutschland und gilt als Begründer des Showbusiness und formte das Bild vom Wilden Westen mit Cowboy und Indianer.

    Die Stadt Cody wurde von Ihm gegründet und lebt den Kult um Buffalo Bill weiter. Wochentags gibt es um 18:00 Uhr eine Schiesserei und Banküberfall vor dem Hotel Irma. Es gibt ein sehr interessantes Museum über das Leben von W. F. Cody.

    Cody ist 1917 gestorben und hätte sicherlich träumen lassen, dass 100 Jahre nach seinem Tod sein Leben noch so präsent ist.    Read more
