In fact, it refused to start this morning..The hood release inside would not open to jump-start it. I didn't want to go anywhere today, anyway.

I'm starting to remember about that stuff. We were supposed to travel to Idaho...5 hours & two mountain passes...for Thanksgiving, but we opted
for Plan B...walking next door
or we could go hunting...

If you can, take a photo of the Buffalo Bill Hunting party on display in Cody... I can't find the duplicate my mom gave me... her dad is in the photo.
It is a large group and I recall an Indian in his full headgear feathers as one of the members with Col. Cody. Thank you!rhintransit - 11-24-2010 at 11:51 AM

Will do!
Is it in the museum or at the Irma? I was planning on visiting the museum soon.

My mom said it was a big photo in the museum... I think she bought a souvenier small duplicate of it... I would gladly pay you back if they sell
those.
The photo shows (I am recalling from my youth now)... about 1-2 dozen men... with rifles posing... an Indian wearing feathers is one... My grandfather
is in the center... no hat... Bill Cody is wearing fringed rawhide jacket in the back row I think... standing... ???
Thanks... If names are given of people in the photo, his is Klein.Hook - 11-24-2010 at 08:11 PM
I knew because I went through Cody this summer. Pretty nice town, although the revitalized old town section is a bit more touristy than some of the
other towns we went to. Shore is a biker haven.
The museum is simply incredible. So much more than just Buffalo Bill memorabilia. 15 bucks gets you two days worth of viewing. Great deal.David K - 11-24-2010 at 09:46 PM
I should go there someday... was close when we saw Yellowstone a couple years ago... My mom was born in Cody.Bajagypsy - 11-25-2010 at 10:04 AM

There are LOTS of photos posted in the digital archives online, like this one of Amelia Earhart at her ranch nearby. We drove up the Wood river last
week right past this location.
The Buffalo Bill Wild West show traveled all throughout Europe speading the allure of the American West everywhere it went.
A young girl in Scotland was so smitten with the Wild West that she migrated alone in her early 20's and headed for Cody. About 100 miles short of her
destination she met a young man with a motorcycle and an empty sidecar. It was love at first sight. They settled in Meeteetse (where I am now). Some of their decendants were born in the same hospital as your
mom.
The son of the man in the photo with Amelia can sometimes be found at Lucille's Cafe in Meeteetse.

Shore? Part of the Buffalo Bill reservoir west of town? I asked a retired deputy and he didn't know what you were referring to. Do you know something
the cops don't?
Edited to substitue Scotland for Ireland...apparently it makes a huge difference
