I started the morning in the park driving along the road open to public trafic. It was a beautifull morning with very clear sky and sunshine and a freasing -25C.
I saw again some deers and bison looking for food under the snow.

After leaving the park I was driving to Cody Wyoming, where Buffalo Bill used to live. Cody is a real cowboy village with rodeos and cow boy stores.

To be cowboy is not cheap; price for a saddle is around 1500USD, a Stetson hat is around 300USD, some proeper boots with a spur around 500-1000USD.
The next village on the road was Thermopolis, a small village full with hot springs. The village should have once better days, today it seemed a bit worn.

My final station today was after driving 100miles in full darkness on shining ice in -20C Casper Wyoming. They say that in such a cold is actually not worth to clean the road, because it has quite a good grip actually. The salt wouldnt work anyway. They drive on this ice 60 mph easily. The secret is that you should not brake and should turn the stearing wheel. Luckilly that works on the ever straight roads here.
As reward for my all day driving I ve got a real american dinner in Johnny Js diner:)
