More Bad JuJu - Day 12, Friday, June 30, 2017 Bighorn Mts to Cody, WY
Jeez, the morning was fine. Russ made it back to Buffalo and got the tire fixed. That was the good news. We departed the Tie Hack campground at 9:30am and made good time traveling west through the Bighorn Mountains with the final destination being Cody, WY.
The drive was beautiful as promised by the notations on the map. We crossed the Powder River Pass (elevation 9,666) and headed down the TenSleep Canyon. Here we were treated to truly spectacular views. Deep gorges and massive rock wall formations. Also involved in this little journey was a road repair job that necessitated all of us being lead by a "pilot car." Actually all they were doing was a slurry seal that involved gravel on the bottom and some black substance sprayed over it. Well by the time we got through that road construction and stopped for a pee break, this is what had happened to the front window of our brand new lance trailer: 😢
So, we spent the rest of the afternoon conversing with Lance, the Lance Dealer in Billings, MT (closest), AAA insurance and Safelite. Still waiting to see when this will be taken care of -- of course nothing ever happens until it is a long weekend . . . . . Here are some nice pictures from the day beginning with Russ and Ceilidh frolicking in the park with a frisbee in Cody, WY
Well, we are in Cody, Wy for 3 sleeps ($35 per night at the Absaroka Bay RV Park) and hope to see plenty of history here!! Tonight we found a Mexican food truck where Rosa, Rueben and Michelle fed us fine Wyoming/Mexican food. As always, we over-ordered, but the food was great!!
Speaking of Absaroka, can anyone guess what this word means? check it out on google -- it is associated with something quite similar to the State of Jefferson. But seriously, the Absaroka Mountains were here first, I am sure.
The weather is going to heat up so I am sure that within the next week or so, we will be heading back to the mountains!

If you use your imagination you can figure out what this name means. Named after how many sleeps it took to go from one place to another. Native American style, that is.
