If you get out there, the Wyoming Steak and Chop restaurant in Cody has the best looking wait staff I've ever seen. Too young for me, but you would enjoy the, er, ambience. |

Cody isn't that big - I probably could have asked at a gas station and they would have known him. A nice town in a nice state. |
