Algernon visits the Bill Cody Ranch

Hi All!

We flew to Wyoming on Aug. 20 and drove to the town of Cody for a 5 day stay at the Bill Cody Ranch.

AR loved the horses and sitting on a saddle. 

We took him to the Cody rodeo and he enjoyed a coke and cheering the cowboys on. 

His straw hat and bandanna made him look just like a cowboy. 

Next we took him to Yellowstone National Park where he saw lots of buffalo. 

Then we went to Jackson Hole where he posed on an old wagon.

He shared his buffalo jerky (dried and spiced Buffalo meat) with Joe.

Because of hurricane Irene our trip home was delayed four days but AR took it in stride.

He is a great traveling companion!
