Travel to Cody

We sat in the Cat dealers lot for 4 days and of course the motorhome started.  They thought it might a check valve and we were going to have them change it but once he got to the engine under the bed, he realized he couldn’t get to it easily.  They would have to take the whole bedroom apart and we would have to stay in a motel for a night.  They couldn’t guarantee that was the problem.  So we opted to do nothing. 

After we dumped our tanks and filled with fresh water, we pulled out of Rock Springs around 1pm.  We had no problems with the drive and arrived in Cody around 6pm. Most of the drive was flat open range land except for a very pretty drive through Wind River Canyon.  From a distance, it looked like we were going to have to climb some big mountains, but the road just kind of wove through them.

This morning we went into Cody to walk the town.  We saw this hotel and we decided to have breakfast.

              The Irma Hotel was built by William “Buffalo Bill” Cody in 1902.

               He maintained a suite and an office there.

               When the railroad went through Cody, he decided to also build a hotel in Wapiti.

               From Wapiti, it was a short trip to Yellowstone.

  1. We didn't eat at the Irma but we sure had fun wandering around through it. Glad you made it without any problems and hopefully the beast behaves itself from now on.
