Rollin into Cody

June 21,


The following morning we departed Scottsbluff and continued on hwy 26. At the town of Guernesy, Wyoming we took a break to relieve severely challanged bladders and take in the sights of Oregon Trail Ruts. Actual ruts worn into solid rock by the wheels of the wagons going west.

Trail Boss got us rounded up again and we continued on through Wyoming. He was intent on giving us a special treat of visiting the Harley dealership in Casper, Wyoming. We did all arrive as intentioned, however Trail Boss failed to notice that it is closed on Mondays. After way too much teasing, we dropped in on a local diner and filled the bellies once again.

Making our way across a somewhat barren and sagebrush infested area of Wyoming we then joined Hwy 120. A beautiful ride north out of Shoshoni through the Wind River Canyon, a winding road alongside the rapid river and a railroad, twisting and turning around a host of remarkable rock formations. Continuing our way on toward Thermopolis, we received our daily allotment of more RAIN...

We made a brief stop in Meeteetse to pay a visit to a HOG instructor but were unable to connect. He did graciously leave an open tab at the local salon to allow us a quenching of the thirst.

The rest of our journey into Cody was heralded by clearing skies, beautiful mountain views and cool comfortable weather. Checkins at the Cowboy Cody Village was a very welcome occasion followed by unloading bikes, kicking off the boots and relaxing on the patio together with pizza, beverages, and lots of laughter and good times.
