My boyfriend grew up in Cody. We attended the wedding of one of his childhood friends. Her family rented out a huge cabin on the top of a mountain. There was no electricity so the reception ended with a huge bonfire. You can read by the starlight. It is incredible. One of our friends pointed out that if you look really carefully you can see satellites in their orbit around the earth. There is a rodeo every night of the week during the summer. The Buffalo Bill museum is actually worth checking out. But a rodeo is a must. Yellowstone is a short drive. GO! It is amazing.
