We had a hearty motel provided breakfast the next morning since we didn't have dinner the night before. I don't drink coffee so I had some kind of juice, scrambled eggs, a huge sausage patty and a little corned beef hash. The hash was salty as heck so I didn't salt the eggs(just peppered them)and ate a hunk of each in every fork full to spread the salt out. Do the best you can with what ya got. ;-)
"Eat, Sleep and Fish"(or Hunt)seems to be the motto everywhere we go out here. lol
After checking out we hit the gas station next door to fill the car's tank. I wandered around inside the attached convenience store.......
Cute sign.
And there was a cardboard sign on the side of this building letting you know which direction was which on the interstate this gas station was adjacent to.

There were a lot of t-shirts with firearms displayed on them here for sale. You know you are in the "wild west". I opted to buy a souvenir Montana coffee mug instead to tote home.
Then it was local roads through Joliet, Fromberg, Bridger and down into
Wyoming.
I had to take a photo of this drive-thru coffee spot along the way. You'll notice it's called "Revenant Coffee". I believe it was named after the book from 2002 and the film starring Leonardo DiCaprio that came out in 2015. I had read the book by Michael Punke earlier that year and I highly recommend it!
The Two Bear Tavern and Eatery in Fromberg....in keeping with the Revenant movie theme.....
And changing highways to get to Bridger....

About lunch time we came to this place. I immediately thought of Kim when I saw this sign. *snort*
So we made a pitstop at the Blue Rooster Cafe, an unassuming little eatery, somewhere between Bridger and the Wyoming state line.
Not being very hungry as it was early for lunch after that breakfast we had at the motel, we just got a drink and a slice of pie each. Can't recall what pie I had but I do remember it wasn't that great. Hubs liked his cherry pie which was homemade.
And it was back onto Highway 72 and more of those lovely views of mountains.....
And we knew we were getting close to our destination for the day when we saw this billboard.........
And of course lots of stores selling guns and accessories and advertising a gunsmith. Take note of the saddle sitting under the flag too.
And we had arrived finally at Buffalo Bill's Center of the West Museum in Cody WY.Hubs again posing with the 100 years banner on the building.....
This was the holographic projection of Buffalo Bill as you entered the exhibits of his life.
It's too bad that you could barely hear what he said as it was in a crowded, noisy public area at the front of the museum.
A different location was called for.....
Me and the stagecoach.
Cut-outs of cowboys on horseback amongst an antique stagecoach....
More on other areas of this museum next time........
Sluggy
I thought I was going to get through a slug post with no complaining. But nope! Makes a point of complaining about the pie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad, miserable person you must be. To find a thrill to troll someone's blog. Someone you have NO CLUE about(and signing as Anonymous I have no earthly idea who or what you are). I just try my best in life and and don't sugar coat what I experience. At 64 years old I've been through a lot in life(and yes, some of it I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy)so if you expect to come here and read "Little Mary Sunshine" all. the. time., wel l that just isn't going to happen so you might was well Move Along and don't read this. Remember this blog is called "Don't Read This; It's Boring!" for a reason.
DeleteGo crap on somebody else's parade and leave me and my friends alone.
Your trip was amazing....you really got to see so much!
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow's surgery!! You'll do great!
Great photos! I hope your surgery went well! Cindy in the South
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that your surgery went well Sluggy! I'm praying for you & wishing you a speedy recovery. Take care my friend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI was also happy to hear your surgery went well and hope your recovery is as speedy as possible. That "strange thing" being towed by the truck was a log splitter. We own a small version of one for splitting our firewood into useable pieces. Take care. SuzInWA
