Hello!
Well, we unfortunately didn't get to spend as much time in Cody as we'd like. With tons of things to see, we decided to get up early and get at least one thing in. We chose to see "Old Trail Town". And we're so glad we did! It is a collection, museum if you will, of old cabins that have been disassembled and moved to Cody and reassembled. These things are the real McCoy. Not only were the cabins there, but a collection of wagons, furniture, guns, letters, all things west were gathered to be displayed. So, I'm posting a few pics...

We could've spent all day there! It was so wonderful to see our history preserved like that. We only wish we could've spent more time in Cody, Wyoming. But, we hit the road for a fairly short drive to Virginia/Nevada City. So stay tuned for the details...
Be Blessed-
