Little Bighorn

BOZEMAN, MT - - Two nights ago, we styed in Rocky Mountain NP, where the campsites came with elk at no extra cost.  Between there and Bozeman, there's been a lot of rolling interstate and lots of grazing country for the cattle and the pronghorn antelope.
     Today, on our way to Bozeman, we stopped at the Little Bighorn Battle Field National Monument near Billings, MT.  After reading books about the battle of the Little Big Horn it was very interesting to see the actual place where the battle took place.  Today, the rolling countryside, cut by ravines, is inhabited by wild horses and dotted with gravestones to show where the native Americans, led by Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse, fought Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and his US Army troops to maintain their way of life.  A video introduction to the site, a very informative museum and visitor center plus a five-mile drive among the sites of the many battles made this a worthwhile stop.
