Wyoming


Excuse the antenna.  I will have to say that I got very excited driving through Wyoming.  I have seen so many beautiful places that I didn't expect to be so impressed again.  But Wyoming did just that.  The landscaping was so different than anything else we had seen.  Cody, Wyoming is where we camped.  Oh my, Cody is the most beautiful place.  I was the home of Buffalo Bill Cody.  There is a lake, dam and community name for him.








As we entered Wyoming this what began seeing.







These are double tunnels beside the Buffalo Bill dam.


















This is some idea of what we saw and enjoyed so much in Cody.

We also went to the Stampede/Rodeo.  I love rodeos.






Montana






We traveled through Montana for a second time.  This we entered on the west side.  It was amazing with I think more beauty.












This is the back of an Air Stream that was camping in the same place we were in Big Timber, Montana.   The gentleman was actually from Clemson, South Carolina.

We went through northern Utah.  It was also amazing.

Seattle, Washington (United States of America)





We went to the Pike Market Place first.  It is right on the Puget Sound or the Port.  I don't know the difference.  You could buy anything you wanted fresh.  We purchased some very large shrimp and some very expensive smoked salmon.  Neither one of us enjoyed the salmon.  Live and learn, I'll take my salmon straight from now on.


Seattle is a beautiful city.  Lots of water and boats.




The Space Needle was awesome.  It was hard to believe that technology was around during the Seattle Olympics.    The circular view of the city was great.  We could see Mt. Rainier.  And we were still being blessed with perfect weather.

I can't wait to get a hair cut.  John and Boone need one too.

The city transportation was easy to use and we learn our way around pretty fast.  We took buses from near our campground and caught the monorail to the Space Needle and other attractions.

In Vancouver we rode the Skytrain, buses and the sea bus.  You've got to be impressed.

I did work in a trip to Macy's downtown. I had not seen a department store in months.

The United States Border


This was a awesome site.

Vancouver. British Columbia








 

Vancouver is a beautiful sea city.  We went to Horseshoe Bay.  It was a little disappointing.  It was very small and used mostly for a ferry hub.  Of course the residential area was amazing.






We went to the Vancouver Aquarium in Stanley Park. Stanley park was huge.  It rained that day.  Can you believe that was only the second day rain we had rain on our trip.  The people in Alaska told us every where we went that they were having one of the best summers ever because of the warmer and drier conditions.

Another highlight in Vancouver was that we rode the sea bus over to North Vancouver.








The  was nice to see the city from the water.
