Casper, WY to Billings, MT

Hi Folks.  Today we drove north again.

Northbound in northern Wyoming ...

... and into Montana!

Our main destination today was the Little Bighorn Battlefield. 

Monument on Last Stand Hill where Lt. Col. George Custer died

There is an excellent interpretive center.

There were more than 220 soldiers who died over a field
stretching along the hills for almost 8 km
along the north side of the Little Bighorn River.

 Den Dad says it is unusual to have an historical memorial on the actual site of the battle where the terrain is almost exactly the same as it was at the time of the incident - in this case June 25, 1876.

We salute all those that have died on the battlefields of the world -
 mostly common men doing their duty as they saw it.
