Always hard to post from Nowhere - Cody, WY to Jackson via lots of roads and tourists and Elk antlers and greased pigs - part 2

When the family did the "out west trip", we went to a Dude Ranch located right outside the entrance   to Yellowstone. One of the side trips from the ranch was a trip into Cody to see a rodeo. Once we got to the rodeo, there was an opportunity to sign up for the greased pig contest. Patrick decided to participate. A bunch of small kids got out into the middle of the stadium and try to tackle a greased pig - so funny. I do not remember taking a camera, but certainly remember the kids chasing the pig.

I bypassed the usual tourist stuff and headed towards Jackson. The Tetons are amazing.  I decided to mimic the Harley guys and ride sans helmet (you go so slow in the park with all the traffic). I now understand two things; it is awesome (but still stupid) to ride without a helmet and I know now why they wear bandanas. Actually I learned it the following day when my dome was on fire from the sunburn.

I took about 200 Picts of the Tetons,  including these:
