    We visited Buffalo for Longmire Days and stayed at the Occidental Hotel. Their lobby is worth a look even if you don't stay there. Eat breakfast at the Busy Bee Cafe, have a great dinner at the Virginian and take a scenic drive down Crazy Woman Canyon.

    My cousin told me about this video last night so I looked it up. Our moms were natives of Buffalo and I visited dozens of times growing up in Billings, MT, and quite a few times since, most recently in 2018. The Museum building you visited was the Carnegie Library when I was a kid; the museum was just the low building next door. Jim Gatchell was a druggist and neighbor of my grandparents. Very nice to see the old place again.

    🙋‍♀️Hello Russ! Occidental Hotel has shown 140 years of Western hospitality to a myriad of visitors. Even includes a Saloon. Dates back to the 1880. It would have been a real treat to have gone inside, just to get a taste of the past. I enjoyed seeing Buffalo, a nice little town. Museum was really interesting. Would definitely love to visit.

    I remember that drive up into the Bighorn Mountains last year, Russ, with all those switchbacks. Very scenic looking back out across the level rangeland.
    If there was a statue here in my NYC neighborhood that looked like the one outside the museum, every night there'd be a dozen calls to 911 reporting "a man with a gun." Provided the fruit loops didn't tear it down.

    In the off chance you might be wondering, I think that bell was the police station / fire station bell. That small parking lot next to the City Hall was where the old police station / fire station stood. They said it was so old that it was going to fall down. They had to bring a wrecking ball in to knock it down.

    The town's name has two different spellings. First, there is Buffalo. The true name dedicated to being built on an actual buffalo trail....thus the crooked main street. Then there is the name after what the Buffalo natives calls it, Barffalo. It depends on who you talk to while there.
    Clear Creek is great fishing if you go up into mountain area. I think about 6-8 miles up US 16 and it is fantastic in the fall.
