Cody Wyoming - Buffalo Bill Center of the West (9/22- -9/25)

 We moved on to Cody Wyoming to visit the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. This is a marvelous museum that highlights the the life of Wild Bill Cody and has a nature museum and the largest gun collection in the US. We spent portions of two days in the museum and attended a Raptor show. They displayed two species, the Great Horned Owl and the Peregrine Falcon. It was a great show and we learned a great deal from the presentation. The one fascinating fact is that the Peregrine Falcon can dive at speeds over 200 miles per hour while attacking their prey. 

We relaxed at this campground and even spent some time at their trout pond and in the attached gun shop.
