It's overlooking Trail Town, a very trippy place at the edge of town, near the rodeo. There are historic buildings in Trail Town – saloons and mercantile stores and livery stables and whatnot. Stagecoaches, covered wagons, the whole nine yards. The guy who founded Trail Town transported many of the buildings and artifacts from all over the west and even managed to get Jeremiah Johnson dug up and transplanted to the town's little grave. <br /></div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AIMQ-Y9ii1A/SVPk7cVaSFI/AAAAAAAAABI/2Fd_2zmx4nk/s1600-h/rodeo.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 254px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_AIMQ-Y9ii1A/SVPk7cVaSFI/AAAAAAAAABI/2Fd_2zmx4nk/s320/rodeo.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283818497705134162" /></a><br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>'CODY RODEO'    <span style="font-style:italic;">oil on board 8" x 10"</span><br />The light in Cody is impossible to describe.
