No wind today - yea......still chilly but the sun was out. We went to the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument (what used to be called Custer's Last Stand). They emphasize both sides of the battle now; Indian and U.S. Cavalry. It's a 5 mile driving tour plus museum. Also, there were horses roaming around free on the site. We planned to go to Cody, WY next and headed up the Bighorn Mountains. About 20 miles into the about 100 mile trip, the snow started getting bad with low visibility. It would have been dark when we got there; so Cindy wimped out and said "I don't want to do this." So, we back-tracked and are in Sheridan, WY. Sheridan was the home of Buffalo Bill.
Comments from Larry: The horses were cool today - they were just walking around. I think I like horses the best. I was looking at them and they were looking at me and we felt a bond.
Comments from Eldon: Today made the history I read as a kid, come to life. It was easy to picture the soldiers and Indians in the midst of battle. It was my kind of day. Lucky we are not pioneers or the country would never have settled past Montana! Cindy was probably right though; the visibility was bad enough we wouldn't have known we fell off the mountain until we were in mid-air. OK Larry, horses are cool and you're right, you did have a bond.
