Buffalo Bill Historical Center Hawken Rifle Display

[Cowboy]

Went back home to see the folks and relatives back in Cody Wyoming back in September. As always, went to check out the Hawken Rifle Display. Thought I’d share my recent pics of them with you. Also want to share my childhood home/ future home in a couple of years.

Respectfully, Cowboy

I've always loved that part of the country, and the museum there in Cody is a great place to spend time. I would have retired up in that vicinity if the snow wasn't so deep and the weather so cold throughout such a long winter. That's the reason I decided to stay further south. I just hate staying indoors so much of the time when it's that cold and white out. I hope you enjoy your life there...and you will be closer to the Green River Rendezvous too !

Going to try to make it down to your neck of the woods for the Frolic this year. Will be looking forward to seeing you brother.Wife has only two years left until she retires. We’re both heading back to Wyoming for good. Taking over the family homestead. Gotta come out west to see me. Have plenty of room!

Gorgeous country, thanks for showing it.

That is an interesting repair (alongside the trigger/guard) on the one percussion rifle.

Thankee kindly, Cowboy. I've been there (Cody) and toured the museums too. That's beautiful country, but `way too cold for these old bones in the robe season. When ye get there again, stop by Gerry Fick's "Tecumseh's Trading Post" on the main drag and if he's still on the green side of the turf say Howdy to ol' Gerry for me, would ye?

Anyone with a sense of history should plan on spending 2or 3 or 4 days at the Cody Museum if at all possible. The gun section alone is worth a day but there is so much else to that it's not the place you want to rush through. We were there 8 or 10 years ago and it's still on my list of places to revisit. Thanks for the post Cowboy.
