Dubois, Wyoming | "Where Real Cowboys Work And Play"

We started our Summer Road Trip with a flight into Denver, we then rented a car (a very small car) and drove to Dubois, Wyoming, for our first night's stay.

Dubois is a very quaint small town boasting the tagline "Where Real Cowboys Work And Play." We stayed at the Branding Iron Inn, which turned out to be a small log cabin, just perfect for the two of us. Patty, the owner, is great. She is very helpful and was very understanding with our late check-in. The cabin was very clean, had the one room with a double bed, coffee maker, refrigerator and TV, no air but we really didn't need it. The shower stall was on the small side but overall, just perfect for the stay. 

The next morning we moseyed out and took a look at the "The Worlds Largest Jackapole Exhibit", where I had the rare opportunity to photography Cowboy Rick and Cowgirl Pam, as they saddled up on their jackalopes.

We also saw the largest skull door frame, could be the world's largest. This skull door  was on the building next to the Laundromat and Car Wash. So, do they wash your car first using your dirty laundry and then wash your clothes? No-one was in to answer my question.

We then moseyed our way to the Coyboy Cafe for a mighty good breakfast of eggs, hotcakes, bacon and coffee. 

Every Tuesday and Thursday night the city of Dubois has a "Never Sweat Chuck Wagon and Dinner Show", held outside by what seems to be a old mine. Wish we could have partaken in that. I am sure it would be fun.

Great little stop in a quaint little town. I hope to make it back for another stay.







This is Phil, well that is the name I gave him. The Branding Iron Inn offers free corals, so I am not sure if Phil was visiting or a resident, but he took time for a photo.






Where else can you have a gate entrance that is made from antlers.
