06/27/2019 Day 18 Cody WY -Part 1

Yesterday we drove Hwy 14/16 towards Greybull.  We took this drive last time we we here. It is not only a beautiful scenic ride, with awesome mountains, it winds through cool little towns, historic sites, dinosaur finds and a ride through the Red Gulch Dinosaur Tractsite. The climax of the drive is the ride through The Bighorn National Forest, which I’ll address in a separate post due to all my pics & the limitationsof this blog. 

Here’s some pics of a few hidden treasures along the way: 

(I had to Google a few things we passed signs for) 

We drove 5 miles down a dirt road to seethis. (Last time we came, there was a rattlesnake laying on the pathway, and I refused to walk down) 

Check out the scenery, it looks like the badlands

We went to the dinosaur tract site and the first thing you see is a rattlesnake warning sign. I’m scanning the surrounding area & saw a rabbit run & further up a little desert mouse of some type. I saw the longtail first & froze! 

Somewhere down here are dinosaur tracts. They are the three toed bird type according to the info posted. 

Mr Charley walked down the path as I directed him through the little scope up top. 

We were both surprised the path he is onis stone not dirt! 

As we walked back, I turned & saw this on the railing. Not sure what kind of bones, but it was enough to make me more alert, recognizing we’re 5 miles down a dirt road in the middle of nowhere. 

If we wanted to continue down the road (like we did last time) it would’ve been more than 30 miles winding through the wilderness. We opted to get back out to the highway and move on. 

Check these out:

(Instead of Grand Teton I called this Littke Titty Nipple 😂😂) 

These last few are on the way to The Bighorn National Forest. 

Next post will be our drive through there! 

Have a good one everybody, we’re sure trying to.
