Cody Park Railroad Museum in North Platte, NE

June 23, 2023 After our tour of the Golden Spike Tower, we rode the motorcycle to the Cody Railroad Museum. The last bit, Google sent us down a dirt road and showed us parking on the dirt road and climbing over the tall fence to get to the railroad museum. It was easier to ride […]
