Road trip!

[Jonnythack]

I am from Ohio and I plan on taking a road trip out west this fall. I love the history of cowboys, ghost towns, old bars on a strip of old buildings. Any one have any good places in mind? Don't have to give exact locations haha but maybe a state I can research more? Or am I crazy?!?! Haha thank you!

U.S. HWY 50 through Nevada, dubbed "the loneliest road in America". Make sure you have water with you and something to eat in case you break down cause the is no cell service for miles and mile and MILES. At one point we didn't pass a car for an hour and a half. My finance and I did a road trip form boulder, CO to monterey, CA and then cross country to North Carolina, some amazing things along those highways, but 50 through Nevada is worth the drive.

Wyoming is definitely the place to go to find cowboys. Cody, WY, is named after William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody. There's an old Western setup in town that includes the cabin of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Every Summer night there's a shootout outside of the old Irma hotel, which is named after Buffalo Bill's youngest daughter Irma. In the hotel there's a wooden bar given to Buffalo Bill by Queen Victoria. There's also a huge museum that includes the Buffalo Bill Museum, the Plains Indians Museum, and the Cody Firearms Museum. It's many museums in one!
