Hi! I was just wondering if anyone in here is living in Cody, Wyoming. I'm thinking of retiring there, at least in the summer. Any info is greatly appreciated.
Been through Cody a few times. They have a world class museum there, The Buffalo Bill Museum. It houses the largest gun collection in the world. They also have an Old West Town set up that has a dusty street lined on both sides with log cabins one is said to come from Hole in the Wall & was the Butch Cassidy's gang cabin (maybe & maybe not) & old mercantile stores with their wares. At the west end of Old Town is the Jedediah Smith monument among other monuments of other famous villains & heroes of the old west. Robert Redford (played Jeremiah Johnson) was a pallbearer there when Jedediah's body was uprooted in Calif & moved to Cody.Hi! I was just wondering if anyone in here is living in Cody, Wyoming.

I have at least been in the area, although I have never lived even close to there. It IS in the red zone if the Yellowstone Caldera ever erupts, but who knows if that would ever happen. When I went through Yellowstone, it was beautiful, and so is most of Montana. Summers are hot and dry, winters are way below zero cold, and snow depends on where you are at. I remember going through Wyoming on I-80, and it is like a desert in the summer, and 4 foot drifts in the winter, and the roads are apt to be closed. I have a friend who lives near Salmon, Idaho, and she gets the cold, but very little snow because of the altitude she is at.
I think that northern Wyoming is better, and has more trees than the southern part. I grew up in northern Idaho, and the people up in the northwestern states are usually friendly, and make good neighbors, and you should have lots of space if you want to live out of town somewhere.
I would guess that you have probably been there if this is where you want to retire; so you probably know as much or more than any of us who haven't been there.
I think it was about $12.00 the last time I bought it. The place where I bought it is a cheese and goody store.
