We had a good morning in DuBois, Wyoming. We did a little shopping, enjoyed a breakfast of bison and elk sausage and walked the main drag, talking with several local folks. We left town at 11:00, by far our latest departure yet.
Highway 120 through the Wind River valley was one of the best roads we have ridden. Constant elevation changes were accompanied by sweeping curves through rock canyons. The road surface was perfectly cambered, the pavement was smooth, and traffic was light. What's not to like?
We overnighted at the Irma Hotel in downtown Cody, Wyoming. The Irma was built in 1902 by none other than Will Bill himself.
While in Cody we sat through part of a dismal western gunfighter show on the street in front of the Irma. Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, Mad Dog Harry Tracy, and Buffalo Bill were all involved. The show had no apparent plot and we did not stay for the conclusion.
Pigless Tuesday. Elk and bison gave their lives so that pigs could live.

View from Bo's BMW R1200RT. The green masking tape on the GPS holds a pencil eraser in place to replace a button that fell off while riding in Idaho. A real MacGwyver solution. The red writing on the windscreen was written with a dry erase pen and contains highways and cities on our route. The circular puck on the right of the GPS is an XM radio antenna.
