We took the Northern route home. Our main stop was at Little Bighorn Battlefield in Montana. It was a great history lesson. It's the location of Custer's Last Stand and one of the final battles of the Native American's efforts to keep their way of live in tact. 263 soldiers of US army's 7th Cavalry were killed while fighting several thought Lakota and Cheyenne Warriors. I can't imagine battling out on this countryside in the middle of June with zero cover for shade or hiding. The only trees are down by the river.
(You can see the two Cheyenne Warrior markers halfway down the hill)
