Day 3 (June 29, 2006) We started out today by touring the Buffalo Bill dam. It is the first arched dam structure ever built. The roar of the water as it comes out below is almost deafening. It created a large reservoir and the water is used for recreation and irrigation and also to supply the water to homes and businesses in the area. The dam is built across the Shoshone river. The next place that we visited was the Mormon murals. The dome painting show the trials & tribulations that the Latter Day Saints had on their trip west. It is beautifully done. The other paintings show the settling of the area around Cody. From there it was back to the big museum. the Firearms museum was enjoyed by Dwayn but Pat quickly tired of this. However, we spent more than an hour in their. In the back there was a display of many animal mounts that was very interesting. Next in line was the Draper Museum of Natural History. This was interesting and had many displays on wildlife.
