In 1980, just outside Yellowstone Park, a rental car sped past us. Half an hour later, we saw it parked at a road rest stop with a door toilet and picnic table. There we talked to a New York couple hyperventilating about the lack of people, the expansive landscape, and the driving distances between small towns. We suggested they turn in the rental car and fly home. As for us, we toured Cody and the art museum.
Wish u had more footage of Cody and all the landmarks all over the valley, it isn’t just Yellowstone. Cody has a deep, interesting history that still shows today
I've been seeing and discovering your videos since a month or so, and you're taking me in a very beautiful trip around U.S. For the french guy i am, who had never been to your country, it's really enjoyable. Thanks for your work. Just go on sharing these onfirmative vids!
Great capture of my town! Thanks for visiting! If you're still in the area, head northeast near Lovell and see Big Horn Canyon. It's an hour away and well worth a visit!
Although the stampede rodeo is large, the daddy of em all during Cheyenne frontier days is the largest. Cody nite rodeo does daily rodeos from June to august starting at 8 pm. Bubbas BBQ is a must to have when visiting. I grew up 90 miles from Cody and Cody was where we did all of our shopping. (Closest Walmart) Yellowstone gift shop is always fun. There’s one store in downtown that sells jams, jellies, jerky, and sausage to die for. Can’t remember the name. Cody Fourth of July parade is a must do as well. Not too far outside of Cody on highway 14A, the heart mountain relocation center and memorial is a cool historic stop as well. I’m not sure if they still do this too (haven’t been to Cody in years) every hour during the summer an old west style shootout show happens just in front of the Irma. It’s a cool fun way to show western history. Also Irma hotel is named after Cody’s daughter. The restaurant inside is delicious. One of the hotel rooms is one of the most haunted in the country according to legend. There’s also a large veterans memorial on the outskirts of town near beck lake. Granny’s cafe reminds me of a nice home cooked meal and if I remember correctly they had huge cinnamon rolls. I believe you can also go rafting on the Shoshone river in the canyon below Cody. This was one of my favorite places to go growing up in Wyoming. My town was never this vibrant or fun. I hope this comment helps other visitors choose other things to do in the city as well!
I spent the 4th of July there 2014. Camping in town. Fireworks was fantastic. Bubba's BBQ was great. Hotel manager told me when I asked for a discount Son we only have 90 days to make a living. How true.
The state is beautiful, calm, low crime and relaxed. I love the small population, the open country. At night, you can see millions of stars. Can't see that anymore in Texas, where I live. :)
I am so grateful that I stumbled upon your channel. I adore Cody, and Yellowstone is my heaven on Earth. I was there in May--just before the floods--and could go back two or three times a year and not tire of either place. Thank you for taking me back to two of my favourite places on our planet. Wyoming is breathtaking.
Wyoming is absolutely beautiful! Anyone who says "Wyoming is ugly" is an idiot and has either ,never been all over Wyoming or prefers asphalt , brick and steele cities....Wyoming is a very diverse state , with varied terrain, vegetation, etc....can't visit one area and say " this is Wyoming" ...from high desert to alpine mountains, Wyoming is amazing.......thanks enjoyed this....stay safe and God bless....🙏❤
Wow. ppl are crazy eh? Wyoming is so beautiful ! Brings me right back to my childhood days of watching Western Movies, Wild Bill, old pioneer buildings, wooden sidewalks(yes lol, path to my Gran's door was wooden planked sidewalk-Northern Canada in 50's) some parts of Wyoming remind me of some sections of Canada too. If only I had a million bucks I'd hit Wyoming on my bucket list. Travelling with Joe'n Nic is such a BLAST! 💖🥰
Cody it’s a beautiful town, I spent one day there on my trip to Yellowstone 2 weeks ago, and we loved it, my fault for just book a day in there, too much to see around there! I regret not to drive the chief joshep pass, we went to the museum, the rodeo, definitely it’s a beautiful place to visit . Plus the drive through the big horn forest it’s a must!!! Thanks for your video!! Very well done 👍🏼
Your videos are so fascinating, I want to binge watch them but am trying to space them out so I always have one to watch! As a Brit I am always so knocked out by the sheer scale of America, it is hard to get my little British head round it! Love the history of the places you visit and the way you tell the story. Just wonderful xx
I am doing the same currently. For a European guy it's interesting to see how all these states, towns and cities look like. And Joe and Nicole present every episode in a pleasant, calm and informative way. Thanks for sharing all these video's. It must have been a hell of a job!
A beautiful part of the world. I'm a Brit and did a road trip a number of years ago now, around 2014 i think, passing through Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming and Cody was one of the towns we stopped for the night....we had a great time there. We went through Yellowstone too in the early morning which of course was spectacular. Great memories. Loving your videos.😊😊👍👍
Gardner was closed off cause the road washed out during the flooding in June. The hotel you stayed at was just built two years ago. Thanks for showing off Cody there is do much more to see
I really need to get out and see Yellowstone. I really envy you guys. Just retired last year from military. Wife retires this summer. You inspire me. Maybe we can do what you're doing. Just get in the minivan and start driving.
And getting there is just as fun! Great big beautiful country we have and enjoy and preserve for future generations. I enjoy your videos as I did the area when I was there in 2020.
Recently a Michigan man was burned in a thermal pool and faces federal charges for going off the established walkways in Yellowstone Park. When you enter the park, you are given literature that tells you that you are to never venture off the walkways. The temperature varies from warm to scalding. Fragile thermal areas can be damaged by people disobeying clear instructions to stick to established walkways. Check out the history of deaths of pets and people who got into thermal areas.
Love Cody Wyoming, and you’ll love the drive to Yellowstone stone park from Cody, Shoshone river comes out of the park. I love all the lodges on the way to the park, I worked at Shoshone lodge back in the 1980’s. Buffalo Bill Cody has been to a lot of small towns, the historic Sheridan Inn is very interested because Cody was there, too. Stopped at the hunting lodge it’s wonderful on the way to Yellowstone, too.
Your travel videos are all unfailingly worthwhile; but this one was riveting. You showed us a relentlessly spectacular landscape. There were times when you wisely did not narrate but let nature speak for herself. Wonderfully done.
Hi Lord Spoda Superb! Thanks for this beautiful video. Shot of Old Faithful indeed made my day. Wonderful rock formations, as if carved, on right side of the drive in video while going towards Yellow Stone (16:15).
Wow, just stunning! I think that of the videos of yours I have watched so far, that Wyoming and South Dakota are the most beautiful. Incredible variety of landscapes and for me, who will never get to travel to these places, I sure appreciate that you are and that you are making these videos for us. Thanks Joe & Nicole!
We were in Yellowstone in 1988, after the huge fire they had there. I can see it still hasn't recovered completely. In your beautiful shot of the clear blue hot pool, you could see that much of the pool was covered by a crust of minerals with hot water beneath. MANY people have died by falling through this crust to be boiled alive like a lobster. That's why they have signs saying "STAY ON THE PATH". Too bad you couldn't have shown a little of the inside of the museum! It's an incredible museum! Thanks for showing us all this stuff!
I've been to Cody Wyoming, a long time ago when I live in South Dakota. I've been to all those places that you're talkin about, and yes they are so amazing! I highly recommend them to anyone was watching this channel and wants to see them.
Haha it's "Shoshone-ee" 😊 Cody, Wyo native here. I was so surprised to be scrolling youtube and seeing our town's name! Thank you for showcasing the beauty of the little town I love so much. You'll have to visit in the winter and try out the slopes around here, Sleeping Giant is so much fun and Red Lodge is such a fantastic place to go for a winter getaway.
I like the job you and Wife do an amazing job showing the rest of what I have been missing .But,I enjoy with you showing Me around these UNITED STATES.Keep on doing the Great job.I live in Rockdale ,Texas,and so enjoy what you two are doing.THANKS
Great video. I was fortunate to visit Cody and Yellowstone in May 24 from Scotland. One of the best trips we ever had. Highly recommend this beautiful part of the country. Thanks for sharing this with everyone.
You could almost drive by the Yellowstone turnoff. No signs to indicate bears or other wild animals along freeway. Too much commercialization with hotels, boardwalks... All-in-all a nice stop. Enjoyed Wyoming.
I recommend 2 Days at The Museum. As you mentioned there are 5 museums. Tickets are $23. For Two Days. 1. The Buffalo Bill 2. The Plains Indian 3. Cody Firearms ...This is one of largest in the country. 4. Draper Natural History 5. Whitney Western Art
Your visit to Yellowstone brought back so many wonderful memories. Been there twice. Had a good friend who worked at the Yellowstone Inn. She met her future husband from Switzerland there. We went to NYC together too. We stayed in a cabin at West Thumb high in the mountains near the MT line (on north & west side). It had a wood burning stove. Didn’t stay in the cabin too much, there was so much mountain to see. Never made it to Cody, turned off hwy to Shell & Ranchester - had a deadline in Billings MT. I’ve seen most of WY but I wish we could’ve seen Cody. It looks like a cool town… sure was beautiful. Glad you got to eat the elk ribs. Bet you love your travels - wish I could but hubby said we aren’t independently wealthy. Have fun on your travels. Your vids bring back so many wonderful memories.
I live in Cody Wyoming, been here since 1976. My father use to play country music at Cassie's. My Mom was a day cook and prep for the evening dinners. I was a cocktail waitress and bartender. Long long time ago but they were the best , awesome times.. Love your video
Cassie’s was originally a house of ill repute in the early 1900s. That was also the prohibition era so there was a secret entrance into the basement where alcohol was discreetly served. It’s been one of Cody’s most popular hang out spots since the beginning. Live bands frequently play there on Fridays and Saturdays. There is a nightly dinner menu as well as daily lunch served. The establishment has had a few owners throughout the years but each has tried to keep the historical integrity of it intact. The main sign at the edge of the road has been there as long as I can remember.
We have done a lot of traveling. Everywhere we go we get a Christmas tree ornament. Every year we put up a regular Christmas tree and a travel tree. Of course the travel tree only has ornaments from our travels.
I used to truck extensively in Wyoming, and it is beautiful, especially in that northwest corner. I drove a flatbed semi, delivered roofing/construction materials, so I got to see just about every corner of the state. Parts along I-80 are pretty desolate, I can see why some would think that's "ugly", but it's also magnificent in it's own way. I usually came to Cody by way of Casper, which takes you up through Shoshoni and Thermopolis, through Wind River Canyon, incredibly beautiful drive. If you come back another time, stop in to Thermopolis, nice little town, there's a hot springs resort and state park, historic and beautiful site, you'd love it.
During the summer, all entrances are open. There is the saying, "enjoy life." The Old Faithful is spectacular and so is the rest of Yellowstone. Cody, Wyoming seems to have a lot of history.
First time I drove through Wyoming, it was on I-80 across the southern part of the state. I considered the drive ugly It wasn't until I started going further north that I thought Wyoming became scenic.
The UP trains coming out of Cheyenne require seven engines to make Sherman Hill when they haul grain! Sheridan Wyoming and the Big Horn Mountains and Medicine Highway to heavens are great trips!
Begging your pardon…that little girl may only be eight years old but she has wisdom worthy to note. She may have gained this knowledge by listening to a park ranger’s conversation or read of such within the various exhibits on site. 🦉
I agree, she is smart and thoughtful. She might be young, but she expressed a correct fact, the waters in Yellowstone have higher concentrations of chemicals. Her concern for others wellbeing also says a lot about her, very mature for her age.
I was there as a 2nd grader in 1968. We stayed in a log cabin at a place called the UXU lodge near Yellowstone. Still there. Rule breakers at Yellowstone don't always live to tell the tail. People have fallen into those blue pools. One guy fell into one of the crevasses near the geyser and they were not able to rescue him. There is at least one geyser that doesn't work any more due to items thrown into it. People would throw trash into it with the hopes of seeing it fly into the air. I don't remember the Restuarant food being all that good.
My Great Grandfather was a good friend of Buffalo Bill Cody. Just around the corner to the right on 12th Street is a shop called "CODY DUG UP GUN MUSEUM". Great shop run by a collector of old guns etc who's wife sadly passed away in the Fall of 2022.
Everybody talks about the northeast and northern entrances to Yellowstone as the most scenic, but I think the east entrance from Cody is vastly underrated. Cody is a great stop to camp at especially the one in town, it's close to everything.
That was so much fun! Radiators do look unusual in a hotel but I have them in my house and they are wonderful. What a neat state. Who would have thought? I lived in CO briefly but did not go to Wyoming.
The museum is great. They rotate some of the displays and one of them is about the JD Brown homestead. JD Brown and Buffalo Bill were friends and Buffalo Bill visited the homestead. JD Brown was my husbands great great grandfather. The Brown cabin is still standing but privately owned. It's in Powell. Husbands grandma used to get rides with Buffalo Bill. Her family went to Wyoming in covered wagon.
That old trail town looks so cool. You should get a stand alone GPS. I think your phone is relying on cell service while a regular GPS will be using satellites which will give you better coverage in out of the way places.
Still watching, but I have to say that I do prefer your content when your wife is along. When you are shooting content by yourself, I often feel like I am there, but alone since I am seeing it virtually through your eyes, but when watching your videos and she is there, I don't feel like I'm watching alone. That's kind of cool. Not alone is definitely better than alone I hope you include her more in your videos.
We have lots n lots n lots of Bears in Russia. My Andrei 84 has a pet Bear Cub as a child in SIBERIA. TIGERS have been protected for decades and are very numerous all over Russia as they roam. Millions of deer for them to hunt & eat. God Bless You & Your Blessed Wife YULIYA ⛪🇷🇺✝️
This is amazing! I want more of your pretty wife in the videos, if even only for her comments, it brings a nice balance to the commentary. Thank you! for sharing your cool travel videos, this one in particular is awesome!!!
It's nice that your stay at the Hampton Inn was so nice, you didn't mention the several pretty clouds in the sky though. Why is that? Don't worry, I'm just being silly! A couple day drinks will do that to me, I love your videos, including this one, which I'm only 30 percent into so far. Keep it up, I enjoy your content!
These videos do my heart good, to see the natural beauty of our country and reminisce about the road trips from my past. I am absolutely hooked on your series! I think it takes bravery to sell your house and trust in yourselves on this amazing journey. I hope the views help fund your travels. This makes me miss the work I used to do that took me to many small towns with their old main streets and squares.
I heard once you visit Wyoming you never want to leave...it just draws you in Heart & Soul.❤
Totally agree!
I agree..., WY will ever stay in my soul

I visited Cody, WY on my way to camp in the Shoshone Nat'l forest in the Rockies. Such a beautiful part of the country and state of WY.
Great capture of my town! Thanks for visiting! If you're still in the area, head northeast near Lovell and see Big Horn Canyon. It's an hour away and well worth a visit!
My home town! I live a few miles away now, but I ❤ the area!
Cody is a good place to hang out in. I lived there for 3 yrs and WOW! Cody has changed in some ways and not in others. You did a great job 👏 again.
Thank you, George.
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip NADA! Keep up the hard work 💪 👏

Love Cody Wyoming and the great old west!!!
Gardner was closed off cause the road washed out during the flooding in June. The hotel you stayed at was just built two years ago. Thanks for showing off Cody there is do much more to see
It's a great town.
You guys are visiting some awesome places. Thanks for these great videos.
Thank you, BC. These are the places I've always wanted to see. Glad there's others who feel the same. :)

There is a lot to do in Yellowstone park that’s why you have 7 days pass.
My family and I visited Cody. It is beautiful and we enjoyed the rodeo there.
The quintessential Oklahoma trailer park lunch: Mountain Dew and a pack a zingers lol! Have fun out there!

You could almost drive by the Yellowstone turnoff. No signs to indicate bears or other wild animals along freeway. Too much commercialization with hotels, boardwalks... All-in-all a nice stop. Enjoyed Wyoming.
I recommend 2 Days at The Museum.
As you mentioned there are 5 museums.
Tickets are $23. For Two Days.
1. The Buffalo Bill
2. The Plains Indian
3. Cody Firearms ...This is one of largest in the country.
4. Draper Natural History
5. Whitney Western Art
My brother and I camped outside Yellowstone in summer of 74. I was never so cold in my life!
The museum also has one of the largest gun museums in the world! So much history in one spot.
Your visit to Yellowstone brought back so many wonderful memories. Been there twice. Had a good friend who worked at the Yellowstone Inn. She met her future husband from Switzerland there. We went to NYC together too.
We stayed in a cabin at West Thumb high in the mountains near the MT line (on north & west side). It had a wood burning stove. Didn’t stay in the cabin too much, there was so much mountain to see.
Never made it to Cody, turned off hwy to Shell & Ranchester - had a deadline in
Billings MT. I’ve seen most of WY but I wish we could’ve seen Cody. It looks like a cool town… sure was beautiful. Glad you got to eat the elk ribs.
Bet you love your travels - wish I could but hubby said we aren’t independently wealthy. Have fun on your travels. Your vids bring back so many wonderful memories.
Thank you for the kind words. :)
@@JoeandNicsRoadTripalways. Stay safe & take lots of vids.
This takes me back. First time I did this trip was 1976. Four other times since, the last being eight years ago. Time to go again! Thank you!
Cody seems like a blast! 🤠 👍
It's a great little town. Very low crime, lots of things to see. The Buffalo Bill Museum is Smithsonian affiliated and world class.
Sensational coverage. I think Wyoming is high on my list of stunning places but we have so many.
I live in Cody Wyoming, been here since 1976. My father use to play country music at Cassie's. My Mom was a day cook and prep for the evening dinners. I was a cocktail waitress and bartender. Long long time ago but they were the best , awesome times.. Love your video
This is such a nice and plain video. Exactly how I see myself going through the experience. You are great together and it's fun hanging out.
Cassie’s was originally a house of ill repute in the early 1900s. That was also the prohibition era so there was a secret entrance into the basement where alcohol was discreetly served.
It’s been one of Cody’s most popular hang out spots since the beginning. Live bands frequently play there on Fridays and Saturdays. There is a nightly dinner menu as well as daily lunch served.

The main sign at the edge of the road has been there as long as I can remember.

Cody was by far my favorite city in America that I have visited! Beautiful place
We have done a lot of traveling. Everywhere we go we get a Christmas tree ornament. Every year we put up a regular Christmas tree and a travel tree. Of course the travel tree only has ornaments from our travels.
That’s a very nice tradition to start! My husband. & I usually buy magnets or coffee mugs. ☕️
I used to truck extensively in Wyoming, and it is beautiful, especially in that northwest corner. I drove a flatbed semi, delivered roofing/construction materials, so I got to see just about every corner of the state. Parts along I-80 are pretty desolate, I can see why some would think that's "ugly", but it's also magnificent in it's own way. I usually came to Cody by way of Casper, which takes you up through Shoshoni and Thermopolis, through Wind River Canyon, incredibly beautiful drive. If you come back another time, stop in to Thermopolis, nice little town, there's a hot springs resort and state park, historic and beautiful site, you'd love it.
You're right, that area is gorgeous. I have scouted Thermopolis, and will be doing a video there when it warms up. Too cold for this Texan right now!!
@@JoeandNicsRoadTrip Yes, definitely better in summer. Safe travels, hombre.
Great video of Cody and Yellowstone! Just beautiful!. Ive aleays wanted to go out West . Thanks for bringing it to us.. !
the road south from yellowstone to jackson is by far the most beautiful road there is via tetons, snake r. etc
Oh yes indeed. Absolutely stunning!
I’m just south in Colorado. But my heart is in Wyoming!
Damn! I'm surprised the wind isn't howling there.
Sure do enjoy all of your vlogs.
Thank You.
During the summer, all entrances are open. There is the saying, "enjoy life." The Old Faithful is spectacular and so is the rest of Yellowstone. Cody, Wyoming seems to have a lot of history.
The Museum is really good, could spend two days there. The Sullivan Pass has some great views. The Elk steak at the Irma is very good
Really enjoy your trips.
First time I drove through Wyoming, it was on I-80 across the southern part of the state. I considered the drive ugly It wasn't until I started going further north that I thought Wyoming became scenic.
I want to lived there in Cody Wyoming..!!...
Wyoming is gorgeous
You can still see some of the results of the 1988 fire
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing
This was a great video I didn't want it to end thanks for sharing.
Wow, thank you!
The UP trains coming out of Cheyenne require seven engines to make Sherman Hill when they haul grain! Sheridan Wyoming and the Big Horn Mountains and Medicine Highway to heavens are great trips!
Howdy yeah historic information never thought of.Thank you Spoda
Thanks for sharing the images, greetings from Brazil.
Begging your pardon…that little girl may only be eight years old but she has wisdom worthy to note. She may have gained this knowledge by listening to a park ranger’s conversation or read of such within the various exhibits on site. 🦉
I agree, she is smart and thoughtful. She might be young, but she expressed a correct fact, the waters in Yellowstone have higher concentrations of chemicals. Her concern for others wellbeing also says a lot about her, very mature for her age.
Yep. You're supposed to stay on the boardwalk too.
Great video! My mom and dad went to Yellowstone Park for their honeymoon back in 1976 but I've never gotten to go
Wow...beats travelling around Detroit! Greetings from England!
The Cody museum is amazing it takes more than 1 day to see it. Irma's is a great place to eat.
I was there as a 2nd grader in 1968. We stayed in a log cabin at a place called the UXU lodge near Yellowstone. Still there. Rule breakers at Yellowstone don't always live to tell the tail. People have fallen into those blue pools. One guy fell into one of the crevasses near the geyser and they were not able to rescue him. There is at least one geyser that doesn't work any more due to items thrown into it. People would throw trash into it with the hopes of seeing it fly into the air. I don't remember the Restuarant food being all that good.
At the very first part, you are looking in the canyon where there was geyser activity. I grew up on your right side at 15:38.
This was a wonderful video. So exciting to see the places you visited. Thank you!
Thank you, MJ!
My Great Grandfather was a good friend of Buffalo Bill Cody. Just around the corner to the right on 12th Street is a shop called "CODY DUG UP GUN MUSEUM". Great shop run by a collector of old guns etc who's wife sadly passed away in the Fall of 2022.
That is cool.
Everybody talks about the northeast and northern entrances to Yellowstone as the most scenic, but I think the east entrance from Cody is vastly underrated. Cody is a great stop to camp at especially the one in town, it's close to everything.
It was breathtakingly beautiful going in that way.
Looks amazing. Stunning scenery!
That was so much fun! Radiators do look unusual in a hotel but I have them in my house and they are wonderful. What a neat state. Who would have thought? I lived in CO briefly but did not go to Wyoming.
I wonder if the road is open to Cooke City over the pass. What a beautiful drive.
The museum is great. They rotate some of the displays and one of them is about the JD Brown homestead. JD Brown and Buffalo Bill were friends and Buffalo Bill visited the homestead. JD Brown was my husbands great great grandfather. The Brown cabin is still standing but privately owned. It's in Powell.
Husbands grandma used to get rides with Buffalo Bill. Her family went to Wyoming in covered wagon.
What an awesome place to visit!
It is amazing. Highly recommended, GGG. :)
That old trail town looks so cool. You should get a stand alone GPS. I think your phone is relying on cell service while a regular GPS will be using satellites which will give you better coverage in out of the way places.
While you are in Cody. You have to take the Cody Trolley Tour. You will be shown a lot more of Cody then you are telling us.
Fantastic. Thanks for these views.
My Grandfather saw Buffalo Bills Wild West show.
Another great documentary! Thanks for making the awesome video!
Thank you!
Thanks for the drone flyover.
Still watching, but I have to say that I do prefer your content when your wife is along. When you are shooting content by yourself, I often feel like I am there, but alone since I am seeing it virtually through your eyes, but when watching your videos and she is there, I don't feel like I'm watching alone. That's kind of cool. Not alone is definitely better than alone I hope you include her more in your videos.
We have lots n lots n lots of Bears in Russia. My Andrei 84 has a pet Bear Cub as a child in SIBERIA. TIGERS have been protected for decades and are very numerous all over Russia as they roam. Millions of deer for them to hunt & eat. God Bless You & Your Blessed Wife YULIYA ⛪🇷🇺✝️
Wow,Wyoming is such a beautiful state.
This is amazing! I want more of your pretty wife in the videos, if even only for her comments, it brings a nice balance to the commentary. Thank you! for sharing your cool travel videos, this one in particular is awesome!!!
Thank you for the kind words, Richard!
Thank you great job.
It's nice that your stay at the Hampton Inn was so nice, you didn't mention the several pretty clouds in the sky though. Why is that? Don't worry, I'm just being silly! A couple day drinks will do that to me, I love your videos, including this one, which I'm only 30 percent into so far. Keep it up, I enjoy your content!
Breathtaking!!! I want to go there. Did you see Yogi and BooBoo? Gawd, I wish I was traveling with you two.
LOL< No Yogi and Boo Boo, and we were looking for them!
Fabulous video! The things at Yellowstone you showed were better than many of the ‘professional’ videos I have seen.
Thank you, Donna. :)
This is a great video Spoda. I love Cody.
David
Thank you, David. Cody is an amazing place. I highly recommend visiting there.
These videos do my heart good, to see the natural beauty of our country and reminisce about the road trips from my past. I am absolutely hooked on your series! I think it takes bravery to sell your house and trust in yourselves on this amazing journey. I hope the views help fund your travels. This makes me miss the work I used to do that took me to many small towns with their old main streets and squares.
😮 I wondered what he meant when he said he didn't have a house. I thought he meant when traveling. That does take courage and an adventurous spirit.
