I failed to complete the blog yesterday - didn't even plug up my laptop. We drove out of Montana back into Wyoming. Saw lots of antelope along the way, and stopped in Buffalo, Wyoming at Lakeview RV Park for the night. The wind was blowing super hard, but it seemed to settle down a bit before bedtime.
Before parking for the evening we toured Little Bighorn Battlefield. Again, our National Park yearly pass came in handy. We have more than paid for that luxury. To quote the brochure which eloquently states that "the Battle of the Little Bighorn continues to fascinate people around the world. For most, it has come to illustrate a part of what Americans know as their western heritage. Heroism and suffering, brashness and humiliation, victory and defeat, triumph and tragedy - these are the things people" go there to ponder. I was astonished at the number of our Calvary who died there. The Little Bighorn Battlefield lies within the Crow Indian Reservation. Sorry, didn't take one photo at Little Bighorn. It was rather sad to see the markers throughout the battlefield that said "A Calvary soldier fell here." "Life is Good Today!"
