Tuesday 4th October

It snowed last night and we had to de-ice the car before setting off this morning. The temperature was 33 degrees and the pine trees were dusted with snow but the roads were clear. As we came down south a few miles the snow quickly disappeared and temperatures rose to mid forties - but I was glad I had packed some cold weather clothing. We travelled down the scenic Franz Joseph highway over Dead Indian Summit, at 8,000 feet, to Cody. The mountain scenery was wonderful with deep gorges and many different shaped peaks.

Iain took the shot above from the side of one of the gorges - that's me on the bridge!
At Cody we did a shop as we are self catering again for a couple of days and had a bite of lunch in a little cafe/diner before heading east for 53 miles to Greybull. Here we have a small self contained cottage with sitting room/kitchen, bathroom with washer/drier, and bedroom; it is part of the motel but a bit further down the main road. Tomorrow, weather permitting, we intend to explore the Bighorn Mountains and Canyon.
