Vacation Day Three — Finally Cody

We’d originally planned to have breakfast with my family before hitting the road, but after experiencing Denver traffic the night before, that idea was quickly nixed. Instead, it was continental breakfast followed by hopping in the truck and hitting the road as quickly as we could. We still didn’t escape morning rush hour traffic, darn it all. We hit it in Denver (which was a real pain in the ass to get out of), then we hit it again near Fort Collins. But after we cleared Fort Collins, traffic got lighter and lighter and we were able to relax just a little bit more.
Is anybody surprised that I was excited when I saw the sign welcoming us to Wyoming? Wyoming and Montana: my two favorite states in the union. Yup, I was nearly schoolgirl giddy. And I was getting to see a part of the state I hadn’t seen in the past, since we were coming in from a different direction. I missed out on the old sorehead sign at Fort Laramie, Wyoming (250 good people and 6 sore heads), but I did get to see Buford, Wyoming. Their billboard declares them the smallest city in the nation with a population of one. What I found most amusing was this town of one had their own interstate exit and a trading post selling gifts and fuel. They must import workers.
