Day Six

We both woke up early before the alarm went off.  We toyed with eating at the hotel but that involved just hanging around until time and we were anxious.  So we stopped and had some breakfast at a Starbucks that we saw last evening on the way back from dinner.

BTW, dinner was good.  Firehouse Brewing Company.  Was very busy but we didn't have to wait long.  Golfer had some kind of sausage and pulled pork sandwich that made his head sweat.  :) I went with a brisket sandwich and a beer.

So anyway,  we got on the road and finished crossing South Dakota.  Then across a little corner of Wyoming.  It's interesting to see how the land changes from really flat to hilly and on.



Wyoming 

Still Wyoming.  We call this the little Devil's Tower.  There are lots of these.
Montana
Of course, there was some more road construction.  Did not see anyone working at any of the areas though.

We toured the Little Bighorn Battlefield this afternoon.  The park is very impressive.  We heard a great talk by one of the Rangers and we saw a good video before doing the driving tour.  As you look out over the fields and the prairie, you see small white stone markers and small brown ones here and there.  Most of those killed were just buried where they were and markers put up.  The brown ones designate Native Americans.  There is also a small National Cemetery on the site with many veterans buried.

We are now checked in to the Rodeway Inn, in Hardin, Montana.  I will leave my comments at "this is rustic".  I ventured out to the IGA and went from one end of the town to the other.  Saw a couple gas stations.  I stopped at one and filled up Kirk and scrubbed the bugs off the windshield again.  I also saw at least half a dozen small casinos and bars.  And narrowed down our dinner choices to McDonald's, Pizza Hut, or Dairy Queen.  :)

Stay safe, people.  God Bless America!
