In the canyon is the BUFFALO BILL Dam, which causes the BUFFALO BILL Reservoir, which is surrounded by the BUFFALO BILL State Park. Are you seeing the pattern?
BUFFALO BILL himself, standing in front of the BUFFALO BILL Historical Center. Without this guy, the town probably wouldn't exist. Although he did his part to decimate the buffalo population in the Great Plains, it is claimed that he also participated in trying to re-populate the buffalo, or at least keep it from going extinct. Sorry, I didn't pay attention to all the details.

Do other states do this?
The distant mountains are beautiful. Yes, to often the flags are lowered to half staff to honor the fallen heros.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more spectacular images of the wild wild west. Those distant mountains are awesome.
ReplyDeleteOur city lowers flags for soldiers killed in the state and in Council Bluffs.
ReplyDeleteGreat Buffalo Bill pics and history...his house is in North Platte (where my in laws live)...it is a fun place to tour if you ever get that way)!
Yes, we have lowered flags for soldiers also. Your pictures have really captured the feel of this area of the West. Have enjoyed summer travel through that area.
