We're On The Road Again

The drive from Rapid City to Wyoming was nice, the weather was great and the winds were mild. In this State there are times when the winds hit 40 miles per hour and they'll really get your attention when you're driving a 40 foot motor home. We had a good view of the Black Hills and they are beautiful. The Black Hills are actually made up of Spruce trees and the needles are so dark and close together they look black.

We're driving along minding our own business when one of the famous Wyoming storms hit about 60 miles south of Sheridan. We fought the rain and wind as long as we could and finally pulled into one of our favorite campgrounds, "Wally World" to spend the night. Not long after we got settled in we were joined by five to six other RVs and before morning there were about twelve there. "Wally World" is a fine place to park when all you're looking for is a place to get some sleep.

Hardin MT RV Park

The next morning the weather was great, no clouds or wind and nice and warm. We headed on to MT to see the Battle of the Little Big Horn in Hardin, MT. We pulled into a KOA campground and started our tour of the battle site. Its awesome to see where the famous battle was fought and see head stones showing where some of the soldiers were slain. When you see the battle in the movies it sometimes shows General Custer fighting "up hill" and this is not true. He and his troops were on the high ground and the Sioux were coming up at them. Also some of the movies depict the Indians wearing almost no clothes and again this is not true. They thought they might be killed and when they go to meet their "great spirit" they wanted to be dressed in their finest. Therefore they were dressed in their finest costumes. Oh well you have to sell movie tickets.
