Day 8: Cowboys in Cody

Dagens rute: (kart)

The day started with a great breakfast at the Running Bear Pancake House in West Yellowstone. Followed by another drive through Yellowstone.

I will throw out a short video here shortly. It shows how stupid people can act. The woman in the video steps out of her car and walks towards a bison to take a picture. The problem is that bisons are aggressive and often attack people if provoked: check this

We also saw a lost bear cub looking for its mother. Pretty cool seeing a wild bear cub, but we quickly moved on. No sense in sticking around in an area were a bear mother is looking for her cub.

On the way east out of Yellowstone we actually got some snow. Pretty neat seeing snow just a few days after being in the hot desert.

Our plan was to get as far as possible towards the east, but after wandering around the rodeo capital of the world, Cody, we learned that there was a college rodeo that very night. No way we could miss out on that. It was a pretty cool (and cold) experience. I'll post some pictures and videos here, but in a few words it was one of the most american experiences I have ever had. Starting of with a prayer, followed by the national anthem, followed by american rock and country over the speakers and cowboys getting throwed of horses and bulls... all in all a good choice to stay in Cody.
