National Parks and I Eat Balls

Teton National Park

Old Faithful

So we leave Jackson on the way to see some national parks and go to Wyoming. The first park we hit was Teton National Park which had spectacular snow covered mountains, we walked around a little bit because we were going to Yellowstone next. We enjoyed a nice ride thru the park, amazing scenery.

Onto Yellowstone to see Old Faithful. Once again we enjoyed the drive thru these beautiful parks of ours, made it to Old Faithful 10 minutes before it blew which for me is pretty good because i am late for everything. It was pretty cool to see, then we proceeded to walk around the thermal fields near Old Faithful, there are 1,000 thermal geysers in the world and half of them are in Yellowstone. Another beautiful park, different from Teton but just as beautiful. Saw buffalo, elk, mule deer, and even a moose fr in the distance.

So once again we had no place to camp, so we drove to Cody, WY to find a place. This is a real, cowboy rodeo type of town, lots of history. The first hotel was the Grizzly Bear which was the cheap, clean and old, real Wyoming. 

We went out to dinner, late, around 10pm, we went to the Proud Cut Saloon and Steakhouse which had good food and good beer. On the menu they had Rocky Mountain Oysters, which if you don't know are Bulls Balls. Years ago, in Durango, CO, some native Coloradian tried to mess with my Bronxness by ordering me an order of bulls balls but not telling me what they were. My secret was i knew exactly what they were but i had to get up the balls to try them and show them that us Bronx dudes don't scare easily. They weren't half bad, the Proud Cut's balls were far better.

Back to the Grizzly Bear for some sleep to get ready for tomorrow
