Cody WY to Yellowstone National Park

5/6/2015

We left Cody WY around 9:30 a.m. to visit the Cody Museum which housed 5 different museums in one building.





















After the museum we visited Old Trail Town.  1895 Buffalo Bill Cody laid out the original town of Cody, Wyoming which is named in his honor.  













Paid $2.47 a gal for gas here.  Our Kodiak Adventures is heading toward Yellowstone National Park.  We took the route through Buffalo WY and the mountains.  Starting to see snow on the mountain tops.  Scenery is beautiful, overcast most of our drive.

We will arrived at the Madison campground about 2 hours after arriving at Yellowstone Eastern Entrance.  It's around 3:30 p.m.  Cool and rainy here. The temperature is in the 40s.


Yellowstone National Park, East Entrance.

We are exploring the North end tomorrow.  Lots of road work going on causing long delays. Should be interesting.

Location: Yellowstone National Park, WY 82190, USA

The outstanding feature of the 625-acre park is the spring, overlooking beautiful Spring Garden Run, producing 19 million gallons of water a day at 72 degrees year-round.  The swimming area is accessible by stairs, ramp and a swimmer lift.  Lifeguards are provided during the summer months only and pets are not allowed in or near the swimming area.  SCUBA Diving is limited to classes by certified instructors only.  Snorkeling is a popular activity, but access to the cave is prohibited.   If you prefer to stay above the water, canoes, paddleboats, and kayaks may be rented from the park's concession.  The park's paddling trail provides access to the 22,000 acres Lake Woodruff National Wildlife Refuge, with lakes, creeks, and marshes to explore.  The free boat ramp, with dock, can accommodate boats up to about 20 feet, with the St. Johns River a distance of about 10 miles.  Fishing is excellent in the spring run from the shore or the fishing dock.  A Florida fre

Lake Louisa, Florida State Parks Video

A short drive from Orlando, this 4,500-acre park is noted for its beautiful lakes, rolling hills, and scenic landscapes. Lake Louisa, the largest in a chain of 13 lakes, is designated as an Outstanding Florida Water Way. Lake Louisa, Hammond Lake and Dixie Lake, the park’s most accessible lakes, provide opportunities for fishing, canoeing, and kayaking. The park is home to 11 distinct natural plant communities and lies within the easternmost boundary of the Green Swamp (Area of Critical State Concern) and the northernmost boundary of the Lake Wales Ridge. The presence of white-tail deer, bobcat, fox squirrel, raccoon, gopher tortoise, bald eagle, osprey and cypress fringed lakes makes nature study a great pastime. The park is located on US Highway 27, seven miles south of State Road 50 in Clermont. History still resurfaces today. During the 2001 drought, when the lake level dropped, two prehistoric dugout canoes were found in LakeLouisa. Later that year, remnan

Blue Spring, Orange City, Florida State Parks Video

Blue Spring State Park covers more than 2,600 acres, including the largest spring on the St. Johns River. Blue Spring is a designated manatee refuge and the winter home to a growing population of West Indian Manatees. During manatee season, which approximately runs from mid-November through March, several hundred manatees can be viewed atop the spring’s overlooks on cold days. The spring and spring run are closed to all water activity from mid-November to at least mid-March.  Swimming or diving with manatees is not permitted; this rule is strictly enforced. The spring's crystal clear, 73-degree water can be enjoyed by swimmers, snorkelers, and certified scuba divers, with a partner during our designated swimming season. Fishing, canoeing, and boating are also enjoyed along the St. Johns River. Riverboat tours are available; for reservations, call St. Johns River Cruises at (386) 917-0724Call: (386) 917-0724.
