John worked at the Absaroka Mountain Lodge for 4 months this summer. It was located 12 miles east of the northeast entrance of Yellowstone Park. The closest town was Cody, Wyoming, 40 miles away. He stayed there for the summer and worked at cleaning cabins, serving at the restaurant, tending the fire at the nightly campfires, cooked meals on the trail rides and helped some with the horses.
Brad and I spent a weekend there in July. The lodge and rustic cabins were nestled in a beautiful canyon with sharp, rocky mountain peaks all around in interesting shapes.
Yes, I did ride a horse…first time in about 30 years. And YES, I was scared to death on the entire trail ride. I much prefer a ride with two wheels and one that I have control of.
We had a great time, did some fishing, played miniature golf, went to Cody and toured the Buffalo Bill Museum which was amazing and huge especially for a small western town like Cody. We also attended the famous Cody Rodeo which runs nightly for 90 consecutive nights every summer!
