Today started cool, but there was sunshine and clear skies. As i headed east out of Cody, I could see the mountains in all their glory in my rear view mirror. They looked a lot better that way, than they did when i was crossing them. As i continued east I passed an airport that had quite a few old transport type aircraft sitting on the field. I turned in, but everything was fenced in and all the gates required a password. There was a small museum, but it appears to have been closed for quite some time. I tried a couple of different roads but couldn't find any way in, so i don't know what that was all about. Out of Grey Bull, I took scenic highway 14 towards Sheridan. This road takes you up thru the Big Horn Mountain area. It was really a great ride, and the scenery was outstanding. I had never really heard of the area, but it was well worth the trip. Out of Sheridan, I headed north into Montana. Had already checked off Montana, but needed to head north so that I can get into North Dakota tomorrow. I have to admit, that i totally agree with their Big Sky motto. Pretty sure I wouldn't want to live here, but I do like driving thru the area. One thing about driving thru these western states, even on the secondary roads, the speed limit is 65-70 MPH, and there are very few towns to slow you down, so you can really cover some territory in a day.
One final comment. I'm not sure how this tablet decides on how to order the photos. The order that i attach them in, usually isn't the order in which they show up. You will have to use your best guess as to which photo belongs with which comment.
Tomorrow: the Dakotas.
