U-turn if you want to
We drove from Casper to Buffalo and were about to do a U-turn on the bridge in Main Street when we saw a police car, so decided to stay on the right side of the law. It turns out that this is the only bridge in the whole of the US where it is not against the law to do a U-turn. An opportunity missed.
As we were too early to check in we carried on up into the Bighorn Mountains and had a picnic in
the snow. Mine was a very odd sandwich: chicken curry and sauerkraut. The Hershey bar was good though.
We checked out the museum, learned that there is a big Basque connection in Buffalo and met a girl from Sheffield who is here for four months working as a wrangler.
The hotel has been here since 1880. Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Calamity Jane and Buffalo Bill were all guests and The Virginian was written here – Steve is reading it now. There was a bordello and ours is the Madame’s room. Pictures are here. We ate in the hotel restaurant – I had bison for the first time (sorry, veggie friends) and we remembered that tomorrow is the anniversary of our civil wedding. 27 years of unbridled marital bliss.
