Fort Cody: North Platte, NB

Why visit Fort Cody?
Because it is the only place to stop for a
loooooooong waaaaaaaays.









































Don't get me wrong.
I love this place.
One of the main attractions is the Two-Headed Calf.
You can take your picture with a strange pretend native american guy.
Our favorite part was Buffalo Bill's Miniature Wild West Show that runs every half hour, and features over 20,000 tiny hand-carved figures populate moving dioramas of Bill's show, which traveled across America and even to Europe in 1877. (The scenes were created by Ernie and Virginia Palmquist over a 12 year period.)
They have an Old West Museum in the back also.

And of course an awesome gift shop.
