eh..didn't go into Kemerrer as I stayed on 89/30 all the way to Teton NP... I stopped at Freedom Arms but didn't get tom see Mr. Baker as he was not in. Bought a couple of FO front sight blades for my guns as I've found them better for dim light shooting as often happens when hunting.. Building doesn't look like much but they put out a great handgun.. Very nice lady that I spoke with said they are now 14 months backed upped..that is up from 9 months in 2012... Just some beautiful country in western Wyoming.. Snake River... [img]http://i17.photobucket.com/alb...tion%207-15-14/008_zps3b4ddac9.jpg[/img]

An elk way down in a draw... That was the last pic of the day... Road the whole length to Yellowstone Lake in the dark. There was very little traffic. I was very fortunate to get behind a car and we made great time without hitting any game... Saw two mule deer and that was it... About 11 hours in the saddle and 436 miles covered... Time to pack up and head toward Montana... Bob

Well when I got to Wapti the place was mostly closed up for the season..so on to Cote I rode.. Found the same EXCELLENT BBQ place and had a great meal. It was then about 1500. With all due respect RJM, if you went to Cody without visiting the Buffalo Bill Historical Center you can be charged with criminal negligence!! :-) As a gun-guy, it is THE destination whether you're an aficionado of Smith 41 mags or early Winchesters and Colts---you can spend a couple of days JUST in the gun wing of the museum and leave with sensory overload. Also, if you came out the east gate of the park and went to Bubba's, you drove right pass Wyoming Armory (it's west, just past the Rodeo-grounds). Keith Kilby is building custom rifles there that worth stopping to see---he's also building a Winchester High Wall that is parts-interchangable with the originals and he's getting spectacular accuracy from them. Also the Linebaugh's are in Cody--since you're a magnum revolver guy, you'd like seeing them (although I think that John actually lives over in Powell). A couple of months ago, I walked into the bar at the Irma Hotel and Jim Zumbo was being interviewed for a TV show. It's a shooter/gun-guy/hunters mecca of sorts. Seriously, for a gun-guy to visit Northwestern Wyoming and not go to the museum would be like a veteran going to Washington DC and not visiting Arlington Cemetery. JMO, YMMV. FWIW, I'm jealous---you trip sounds great.

I could also see doing a trip like that in a convertible sports car.

I have been to the Cote Center twice. As explained above I did not expect to even get to Cote so I did not have the time to visit. The way it was I was driving in the dark for two hours and it was in the 40s...toes were cold till later this morning.
I did see the shop but it appeared closed.

I have been to the Cote Center twice... sorry----I'd have hated to think that you came that close and had never seen it.

I have a picture taken from just about this exact same spot, except it was taken in 1975. Funny, those mountains haven't changed much in the last 39 years.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!

Bob you definitely saw the most beautiful part of our state. Thanks for the pics. It has been a while since I have been over there.
