We saw lots of Pronghorn along the way. Large and small herds in crop fields. The Bighorn Scenic
Byway (US 14) connects the cities of Sheridan and Greybull and includes 45
miles of scenic mountain driving.
Today we had about the same plan as yesterday only on the
other byway between Cody & Sheridan. It has a lot more tight curves through the
mountains than the route we took yesterday. It would have been much harder to
do in the coach.
Next we checked out Sibley Lake:
Western Wood-Pewee
Northern Flicker

the log was a great place to sit and listen to the stream
Townsend's Solitaire
Dark-eyed Junco
I'm in the center - really small
We didn’t know where we would find lunch as there is nothing
unless you are at either end of the drive. We did see a lodge and hoped they
had food. Arrowhead Lodge was a very nice spot and the server there was working
very hard. He made sure we always had full sodas and the food was very good.
Greg had the smoked brisket and I had the pulled pork. My pork was good, but
the brisket was the best either of us have ever tasted. Tender, smoky and
juicy. They weren’t afraid to use some spice either. The beans and the BBQ
sauce were spicy and tasty. There was a lodge there, some cabins you can rent
and an RV park.

On the way home we stopped in
Sheridan since it’s a bigger city than Buffalo to stock up on some groceries
and then headed home.
Tomorrow, we are returning to the other scenic byway to check out some hiking trails. (and maybe find the moose again)
