Little Big Horn Battlefield, Montana LOL Ok, I have to go through this, we left on the 3rd, ended up in Seattle and Lucy took us on a tour of the industrial area! Scary, then we went through Spokane right into Coeur d'Alene,Idaho. It took us 2 days to get through Montana, but we stopped at The battle of the Little Big Horn Memorial Park. When we got to the gates to pay, she asked if we had a treaty card, I gave her my status card and we got in free. We spent quite a while there, drove the [View Full Entry]

Day 7. Sunday September 6, 2009 Well, here we are in Hardin, yet. This is our last day of avoiding the holiday weekend traffic, which didn’t really materialize. Yesterday afternoon, two big rigs from Texas pulled in with a show of dust and Midland accent. They weren’t the type to cook out doors like we do. So they went into town for supper while we enjoyed grillin’ fare. Yesterday, we went to see the Little Bighorn Battlefield which is about fifteen miles from our campground. It serves as a National Monument and a National cemetery. There is a little bit of [View Full Entry]

We rose feeling slightly better than when we had gone to bed, after 14 hours in the saddle!!!!, and set off to visit a friend of Wolf's who he had met in a gas station the previous year and had put him up for the night in Three Forks. It turned out that he and his wife had already left to go to Sturgis two days before, but another guy was there that had met Wolf before and he very kindly gave us breakfast. We left an hour later after having been fed eggs and cherries. More miles to cover with [View Full Entry]

Not much to say today. Spent most of it driving across Montana back towards Wyoming. Went via cowboy town of Billings and ended up at Little Big Horn. Saw where those nasty redskins massacred those poor cavalry boys and General Custer. Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse and the gang picked them off over two days, until they got Custer at his last stand on top of the hill where the monument is. Still chilly and snow about the place. It is a pain really, all nuisance value as there isn’t enough to ski in or hire a snowmobile, which are for [View Full Entry]

We took the Kings Hill Scenic Byway (Hwy 89) south from Belt, through a beautiful valley, alongside Belt Creek, into Lewis and Clarke NF. It's a lovely drive through the Little Belt Mountains, over Kings Hill Pass, el 7393, past Showdown ski area to White Sulphur Springs where we turn east on Hwy 12. As we head east, it becomes drier, less green, more sage. We've only gone about 1/4 of this trip on interstate highways. In our opinion, if you're not in a hurry, the scenic byways are the way to go. At Billings we got on I-90 east [View Full Entry]

From Red Lodge Jeff and I parted ways (If you don't know what I'm talking about see the previous entry about the Beartooth Highway), he headed back west towards Bozeman and I continued on my way to the Crow Indian Reservation for Crow Fair (the tribes yearly summer pow-wow). Once I was on the "rez" I was supposed to meet my very good friend Cheryl and her girlfriend Lisa. Unfortunately I took a wrong turn and ended up going for a very long drive through the Crow Reservation to Bisby, which is in the Northern Cheyenne [View Full Entry]

So here's the deal...We haven't had internet access at all and cell phone service very little. I'm playing catch-up. Bear with me please. They don't serve breakfast in hell. Nor in hell-holes. Not good ones anyway. I hate to start this entry off on the negative, though, so let me find the silver lining. Hmmm. Leaving earlier than expected (because the advertised continental breakfast consisted of stale, dry, powered doughnuts and waffle mix for a seriously damaged waffle maker that kept more than half of your waffle) meant that we could spend extra time at Devils Tower. Yeah - that's [View Full Entry]

October 3 - 20, 2006 Milwaukee, Wis. - Little Bighorn Battlefield, Mont. 22,384 miles to date 2,241 miles this leg NOTE ABOUT NEW PHOTO FORMAT: You may have noticed that the photo format has recently changed on this (free) blogging service. If we post more than 30 photos per entry (highly likely), then the majority of the photos appear as tiny thumbnails at the bottom of the entry. But the captions and titles are still there (fear not!), and here are two easy ways to view them in the new format: 1) Click on the first thumbnail and then scroll through [View Full Entry]
