    When I was stranded in the Northwest for 9 months in 2020 due to no work, little money & a broke down van, I slowly, drifted from town to town & state to state... I stopped in Cody, Wy and van camped at Walmart for a couple weeks, then at the KOA for 1 week, and everyone at the Cody KOA was so wonderful to me, so for 3 days, I spent 3 hours a day cleaning litter all around the property to help make the place look clean.... I really liked Cody and walked all over town, went on daily hikes along the trails near the cliffs leading down to the Yellowstone River.... I also visited 2 churches (Cody Bible Church & Cowboy Church), and everyone there was wonderful & helped me to get back home in Florida.... THANK YOU CODY, I LOVE YOU FOR SAVING ME!!!

    If you want minimal crowds when visting Yellowstone , go in late spring when the meadows are blooming with wildflowers , the Bison are still near the hot Springs, pronghorns havent been spooked away yet , and the families with kids are still home finishing the school year. Later in the fall when the kids are back in school the crowds will be minimal again and you can see the elk coming down from the hills , the bulls duking it out, and the Bison migrating away from Lamar valley towards the hot Springs. Dress warm .

    I grew up in the area, residing in Billings, MT ... often visiting Cody, Sheridan, Yellostone and also living in Laramie, Rawlins, Cheyenne, and Rock Springs at different times through my life ... I know the history of many of the events. I remember the times and memories of the Cheyenne Frontier Days, from the 1950's to the present. How it used to smell of cigar and gun smoke and horse manure. The days of "Hell on Wheels" (my great grandma would cover my ears) .... The wild west actors, and even up to the times when the cast of Bonanza would ride in the parade and appear at the rodeo ... Great days in America .... I also remember the very old men, who were young boys in the 1880's and later, would tell us the stories of where we lived ... what they had seen and what had happened ... ..... But the ONE PERSON who I and many others never had much respect for, and always saw as a charlatan and actor ... was "Buffalo Bill" .... We could never quite understand, how someone who could brag about shooting more than 5,000 buffalo in his life, and just leave most of them to rot, would be so popular with tourists, that they would pay to watch him act out the same games we played as children ... "cowboys and indians" .... One of the stories was about how the buffalo "hunters" would be paid by the railroad, to just shoot as many buffalo as they could shoot, from the trains .... because of how they blocked the tracks.... This is where "Buffalo Bill" apparently gained his reputation, along with his .... "swaggertin self promotin and bloviatin bravado" ... as my great grampa, Cecil used to say ...
    I heard many tales from grampa, who's parents had brought him west, as a baby, on a wagon train. Settling first in Kansas, then moving on to Wyoming Territory...... Cecil ended up working for the Union Pacific railroad, at 13 years old, from 1895 through WW2, out of the Cheyenne and North Platte rail yards. Over 50 years ... and he witnessed many of these events .... He used to say "David, do you know why they called him Buffalo Bill? And I would say .. why grampa? He would say ... "because he had everyone buffaloed" ... 🤠

      Most of the wind is during the winter. Because of the shape of the mountains to the west of Cody, Cody is one place in Wyoming that is basically a wind tunnel. Every time the weather changes the wind comes with it. It make every breath a fresh one. It also creates wind chill in the winter. If you come in the winter come prepared. Don’t forget a jacket if your visit is in the summer. We see snow and hail on occasion.

    This was an excellent video and having been there about 4 weeks ago, reminds me of what I didn't see. Being from Ohio I am amazed how different the scenery is out west and makes me want to return next year, spend more time, and see all the things I missed. Thanks for being detailed in your description during this video. Also, many of the scenic roads around Cody, many of which go through passes over 10000 feet, are worth visiting. Just dress appropriately; during our one trip on a Slingshot, the temp dropped to 37 degrees and we encountered sleet (with only a pullover on). Like you said, this area is a good reflection of God's work. Again, a great video. I plan to watch your other videos.

      There's exactly ONE highway that reaches 10,947 feet. The Beartooth Highway between Cody and Red Lodge, Montana. No other roads come close in elevation, and there aren't exactly many roads around here. The only thing that makes me believe you were even in Cody is your mention of a Slingshot, which you rented on Yellowstone, Avenue next to Walmart.

    6 of us rode our hardtail choppers from Minnesota out to Yellowstone then up to Glacier back in 1976. We entered the park through Cody. Thought it was one of the coolest towns out west. Quite sure that it has changed a lot since, and lost it's old west charm, much like the black hills has since back then. Lots of awesome memories of a young man living thru the best times in America!...That might one day be the last standing statue of a famous American folklore legend.

    My grandfather worked for William Cody, his name was John (jack) Cooper . He emigrated to Canada age 17 . And joined the Wild West show. He broke in wild horses for the show . He was deported eventually after a gun fight broke out although he was not charged with anything he was a keen fighter . By First World War he had children and tried to sign up for the war . He was 36 years old . Each time he was flying be out to be a father of 6. By WW2 he was too old . Sometime in the intervening years he received the Victoria Cross for rescuing a mother and son from the Thames river .

    It was nice to see Cody again, albeit online and not in person. We were last there about 40 years ago. You're right - plan on at least 2 days to really experience the museum(s).We were fortunate to have planned our trip back then so as to be in town for the Cody Stampede's big night. Michael Martin Murphy was the guest performer and sang his hit song "Wildfire". It was a trip to remember. Stay safe out there.

    I live in W. Yellowstone in 1971 and worked at the Elk Studs mill that was there at that time. My friend and I just got out of the military. He was from Butte and had a brother living in Bozeman. While in Bozeman we went to the unemployment office and they sent us to West Yellowstone for a job. That’s how we ended up there. That was really my first experience with living on my own. What a great and adventurous time we had. I had to leave in November because the mill shut down and I was afraid I would get stuck there for the winter without work. My friend got a job with the city and decided to stay. I headed south to Boise. Then back to California. Many years later 2001 I was running a cleanup job just outside of Cook City. That was another great experience. Cody was one town we would go to for supplies because it was closest. Cody is a great little town too. Much smaller than you would think. I recognize many of the places you were showing. Thanks for your video. I would love to look over the Chief Joseph highway one more time. What a beautiful sight even on a bad day.
