Another Day of Great Scenery

June 1: Today was a push day thru the middle of Montana Plains then south to Billings for our first stop at Cracker Barrel. Yes, Pat and Carolyn, Jo had her vegetables!!! After dinner we moved on to Garryowen, Mt. This is right next to Little Big Horn( Custer's Last Stand). Nice campground. It is on a ranch.


June 2: Went to the National Little Big Horn Park. Toured the visitor center then took a van ride around the battlefield. It was narrated by a Crow Indian girl who was very politically correct about the battle. After our ride we listened to a ranger who described the battle. She was fantastic. She used her hands and body to make it came alive. We were both happy we decided to take a detour to see it. However, how can you take a detour when you do not have a definite route. AHHHHHHHH the questions of life!!!

We went to lunch in the town which had a very interesting museum. Several buildings school house, several old houses, and the most interesting was a group of buildings which belonged to a wheat grower. Bunk house, bathhouse, dining room and kitchen were included from the camps.

He was the biggest producer of wheat and was very innovative.

Time to get back and walk the dogs(Sobaka is traveling better). After dinner, the camp host came by to tell us a severe thunderstorm was headed our way. Well, instead of one storm we had two storms collide. It then turned and headed our way. Oh, fun!!! It took about an hour to reach us but what a storm! Larry made us a drink and we sat in our front seats while we watched the lightning , listened to the thunder crack all around us, and it poured. We just do not get storms like that in California. Sobaka not too sure he liked that. He can still hear real low sounds so the thunder not his favorite. Lottie did raise her head to see what the commotion was all about. Pretty strenuous for her.
