The Santa Fe Trail from River City to Buffalo had some lovely scenery.
We put over 23,000 Kilometers on the Van from the end of September to February 12th!!!
We arrived in Buffalo Wyoming exhausted after a long drive, registered into the Quality Inn & headed downtown (left) for a bite to eat... We'd almost given up when we came across the Virginian, a restaurant located in the Occidental Hotel.
We dined in the little alcove table for two you can see through the archway on Filet and Duck.. The meal was perfect, as was the service. We learned a few things about the hotel...
 |
| The lobby |
 |
| The hotel has housed such famous people as Presidents Teddy Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover, Buffalo Bill Cody, Butch Cassidy, Calamity Jane, Ernest Hemingway, and, more recently, Tommy Lee Jones! Our guide said there are many famous people who stop in and stay... we could definitely see why! |
 |
| The hotel is on 2 levels and the rooms are named after their famous guests. |
 |
| We woke up the next morning to 2 feet of snow, so of course decided to stay at the Occidental Hotel until the next day. Our room was the Herbert Hoover Suite. This is the living area of the suite. There was a full bath with a claw tub, and a separate bedroom. What a great way to end our travels! |
