Over the last couple of days we have traveled from Devils Tower to Buffalo, Wyoming then into Montana where we are now at an RV Park and Campground in Glendive, bringing us to within about 30 miles of the border with North Dakota. Yes, we've turned the corner at our westernmost part of the trip near Billings, MT, and are now heading East.
On Wednesday we took a sojourn of over 300 miles (by car) on a large loop through and around the Big Horn Mountains. We traveled from Buffalo, Wy, (the "Gateway to the Old West) and, winding our way through mountains, reaching altitudes of over 9000 feet at points, passed through towns like Ten Sleep, Basin and Greybull (some populations like 63 and 308). A major point along the way was a visit to a Medicine Wheel which required a 3 mile hike in some cool and very windy weather up to another 'top of the world' experience where over 80 tribes still conduct ceremonies at an ancient religious site.
Thursday's travels took us to the site of the battle of the Little Big Horn. After viewing a video describing the battle and the events leading up to it, we explored the area where the battle took place, a very desolate top of a bluff near the Little Big Horn River.
As usual, see captions on some of the following photos for additional information.
