    2021 ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 3 WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN ADVENTURE. The West isn’t just a direction. It’s not just a mark on a map or a point on a compass. The West is our heritage and our soul. It’s our parents and our grandparents. It’s the explorers and trailblazers and outlaws who came before us. And the proud people who were here before them. It’s the adventurous spirit that forged the American character. It’s wide-open spaces that dare us to dream audacious dreams. And grand mountains that make us feel smaller and bigger all at the same time. It’s a thump in your chest the first time you stand face to face with a buffalo. And a swelling of pride that a place like this still exists. It’s everything great about America. And it still flows through our veins. Some people say it’s vanishing. But we say it never will. It will live as long as there are people who still live by its code and safeguard its wonders. It will live as long as there are places like Yellowstone and towns like Cody, Wyoming. Because we are blood brothers, Yellowstone and Cody. One and the same. This is where the Great American Adventure calls home. And if you listen closely, you can hear it calling you. 4 CODYYELLOWSTONE.ORG CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 5 William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody with eight Native American members of the cast of Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show, HISTORY ca.

  • Local Hazard Mitigation Plan
    City of Waveland Local Hazard Mitigation Plan March 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The purpose of hazard mitigation is to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from hazards. The City of Waveland developed this Local Hazard Mitigation Plan (LHMP) update to make the City and its residents less vulnerable to future hazard events. This plan was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000 so that Waveland would be eligible for the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Pre-Disaster Mitigation and Hazard Mitigation Grant programs. The City followed a planning process prescribed by FEMA, which began with the formation of a hazard mitigation planning committee (HMPC) comprised of key City representatives, and other regional stakeholders. The HMPC conducted a risk assessment that identified and profiled hazards that pose a risk to the City, assessed the City’s vulnerability to these hazards, and examined the capabilities in place to mitigate them. The City is vulnerable to several hazards that are identified, profiled, and analyzed in this plan. Floods, hurricanes, and sea level rise are among the hazards that can have a significant impact on the City. Based on the risk assessment, the HMPC identified goals and objectives for reducing the City’s vulnerability to hazards. The goals and objectives of this multi-hazard mitigation plan are: Goal 1 Minimize risk and vulnerability of the community to hazards and reduce damages and protect lives, properties, and public health and safety in the City of Waveland Prevent and reduce flood damage and related losses Minimize impact to both existing and future development Minimize economic and resource impact Goal 2 Provide protection for critical facilities, infrastructure, and services from hazard impacts.

  • Cody Country
    RV Traveler's Roadmap to Cody Country Yellowstone Country is comprised of the towns of Cody, Powell and Meeteetse as well as the valley east of Yellowstone National Park. The area is called “Buffalo Bill’s Cody/Yellowstone Country” because it was the playground of Buffalo Bill Cody himself. 1 Highlights & Facts For The Ideal Experience Campsites at Buffalo Bill State Park come with electricity, water, picnic table and fire pit. More primitive tent sites are also available. Trip Length: Roughly 60 miles Best Time To Go: Summer is best for driving conditions, however colder months offer great opportunities for snow sports. Must See Nearby Attractions: Hot Springs State Park - the site of the world's largest mineral hot spring located near Thermopolis, roughly 50 miles south of Greybull via Route 20 2 Traveler's Notes The Medicine Wheel in Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming. The heart of Buffalo Bill’s Cody/Yellowstone Country is the community of Cody, Wyoming, founded by Buffalo Bill in 1896. The entire region was driven by and is still heavily influenced by his vision. His regard for the wildlife, scenery, and the wonders of Yellowstone can be appreciated by all who visit Buffalo Bill’s Cody/Yellowstone Country. Powell, Wyoming, home of Northwest College, is located in Buffalo Bill’s Cody/Yellowstone Country just 23 miles from Cody. Powell was named for Major John Wesley Powell, famed proponent of western land reclamation and an explorer of the Rocky Mountain West. Meeteetse is one of the oldest settlements in Buffalo Bill’s Cody/Yellowstone Country. The name is said to derive from an Indian phrase meaning “meeting place.” But another story says Meeteetse, literally translated, means “measured distance near and far.” What it means and what it has to do with the community remains unknown.

    COLORfUL PAST \iYOMIN6 Since the 16th Century, a number of governments have claimed parts of what is now the State of Wyoming. The following national flags have. flown STUDE~ GUIDE over the Wyoming Territory: France, ~ Great Britain, Mexico, Spain, Texas and the United States. Wyoming officially became the 44th U.S. state in 1890. 'The name Wyoming was adopted from two Algonquin Indian words meaning "at the big plains" or "large prairie place." Gold in California and the lure of rich land in Oregon brought increasing numbers of pioneer wagon trains rolling over the Oregon Trail through Wyoming. Soldiers came to protect the wagon trains from Indians, and they also established forts along the trails. The most important of the western military posts was Fort Laramie in southeastern Wyoming. Fort Laramie became a haven for gold seekers and weary emigrants.
