Today we left Casper WY, and moved on into Cody WY. First we took a short tour at the local Cody WY LDS Murals. We then spent a couple hours in the Buffalo Bill Historical Center. This is a museum in Cody WY that has may different sections relating to the west. I toured some of the gardens, the guns, and the natural history museum. I loved reading and spending time in the natural history museum. It was full of information on local plants, animals, and geology.
The attached picture is of Buffalo Bill's childhood home.
I had a couple of people ask me about the "Prayer Rock" as discussed at the LDS Murals. (This was a major part of building the Sidon Canal that was mentioned in my report.) Following is a site where you can read about "prayer rock"and more about Mormon expansion into the west.
