The museum is a major attraction in Cody and the facility is extremely nice. Our plan was to stay only an hour as we had to head east, but this is one place where you could spend a day or more if you wanted to absorb all the information. Nan & I focused on the William F Cody and the Plains Indians sections. The displays were interesting. I liked the saddle with all the silver dollars that 
Buffalo Bill shot when tossed in the air. The Indian display did a great job showing their daily lives. And Nan found the dresses worn 
by the daughter of Buffalo Bill interesting. I believe Dick & Barbara and Jack & Jo did the same sections. I also did a quick pass in part of the Firearms collection which I also thought was very good. Nan also found some time to visit the outdoor gardens which she said were very good too. We were back in the Model A’s after our visit and continued our journey east on US RT 20.
RT 20 headed into the Wind River Canyon area. What a beautiful location. We also know why the place got its name. Boy was the wind blowing in that canyon. 
The road actually went through three tunnels that were carved out of the granite. It looked like the railroad tracks on the other side of the river also went through tunnels in the mountains too.
Unfortunately once we left the canyon, the landscape was pretty barren and it was very warm. The roads were also very straight and hilly. The conditions really made travel uncomfortable so we made the 
decision to stop ealry. We stopped for the night at the Best Western in Douglas, WY. The parking lot contained a number of Street Rods, which turned out to be a meeting of the Wyoming Street Road Association.
