CODY RESERVOIR

CODY RESERVOIR

Pastel
9 x 12 inches (L x W)
On July 4th, we were in Cody Wyoming. We went to see the oldest Rodeo in the country and it was fabulous. As the traffic cleared out it was about 8 pm and the weather was perfect with awesome light. However the traffic leaving the rodeo was awful. We ended up chatting with a young couple that were locals and they too were waiting for the crowds to clear. They lived down the road, knew we were tourists and told us to just head to the other side of the mountain, through the tunnel to see the Reservoir. We were 'game'. Turns out this was designed by a true visionary... Buffalo Bill Cody. This is the Cody Reservoir. It was built in 1910. The town and the dam were named after him. It was soooo beautiful with the last rays of light streaming past the mountains onto the reservoir. CODY RESERVOIR Uart 400 Black. 9 x 12.
