These are photos of the canyons outside Cody, WY. Buffalo Bill Cody basically created this town at the height of his fame, around 1900. His museum here is exceptional. Some photos of my visit there are attached. As you may know I've always had an affinity to Buffalo Bill especially after having lived in the house that he died in in Denver. It was a grand house that he bought his sister when he was flush from his Wild West Show money. In 1917 he was at dinner one evening and told the assembled family members he was going upstairs to die. He did.
