Returning Home from Canada Day 10






Today we had a fairly long day. We drove from Billings, MT to Rapid City, SD, more than 400 miles. We stopped at the site fo the Battle of the Little Bighorn. It was pretty cool. Here are some of the shots. Nickie is at the Indian memoria. There is a monument to the US soldiers, Custer's grave on "Last Stand Hill", various other memorial markers, and the National cemetary. Although the Indians won the battle, they ultimately lost the war shortley afterward. A sad tale...

Seeing you stand there like that, you look so much like your DAD. It brings back so many memories. He smiled when he thought he had to otherwise he was like that a lot. Glad you enjoyed the trip.
