151 exciting miles from Sheridan WY to Cody WY today.  I say "exciting" because the eastern side of the Bighorn Mountains we came across, rising to well over 9,000 feet at Granite Pass, was cloaked in dense clouds reducing visibility in spots to near zero.  Adding to the "excitement" were the deer standing like frozen statues in the middle of the 2-lane road.  There were about 25 or 30 miles of hugging the center yellow line but then things cleared up nicely on the western slopes, with spectacular views of the rugged and beautiful canyons.  We've driven thus route several times before and this was not the first time in dense cloud cover.  There was lots of snow today along the road but the road itself was clear.  Some folks out here say the snow is almost a month early, at least at the lower elevations.
Upon arrival in Cody we hightailed it to our favorite Chinese buffet for a late lunch.
We are now getting ready to watch the big Penn State - Ohio State football game on ABC TV.
We'll be doing local Cody area things tomorrow.
Take care all.

  1. Yikes! Deer and fog does not seem like a good combo. Glad you made it safely!
