We are hearing about Hurricane Irene that is threatening the east coast. We hope that you are all safe and you are in our prayers.
Our goal today was to get as close to Mount Rushmore as possible. This involved a lot of driving, but we managed to break up the day with a stop in Cody (named after Buffalo Bill Cody). Joshua and I had to take a pit stop, which took us to the Buffalo Bill Dam Visitor Center. This was a real jewel. The dam was the highest in the world when it was built in 1910.

We visited the Old Trail Town museum in Cody. It is a wonderful collection of old west buildings and artifacts.

We had lunch at the Irma Hotel, once owned by none other than Buffalo Bill himself.
After seeing the bison at Yellowstone, I almost felt guilty eating the buffalo meat in the buffet (almost).
We needed to get back on the road, so we headed up and over the Big Horn mountains. These had the most amazing views!
