We woke up to this. The storm had dumped several inches of snow. After some thought and checking the road conditions, we decided to go ahead with the trip and not take the snow day off. Our destination....Buffalo , WY
Jagdish got the car cleaned and we were off to the wild west.
The Black Hills had turned white and were beautiful. It snowed and rained all the way and visibility was very poor. Thanks to two gizmos : a) Coverall Sun Glasses...to cut down the snow glare. b) Rainx..(recommended by Anupam and Chris) , the drive was uneventful and we got here around 2pm
Buffalo is the first frontier town and is still feels and looks like one. Main street has the old historic bank, shops and hotel Occidental. This hotel has guest list including, President Roosevelt , Butch Casadi, Sundance kid and Buffalo Bill, just to name few.
We saw the only museum in the town. It is small but interesting. We learned about the fights with native Americans and later gun fights between small and big farmers. The museum is private collection of a pharmacist who befriended native Americans and was considered a medicine man.
It is cold and raining , but tomorrow is promised to be better. We are using extra time watching Marathon Star Treks.
Good night
