DAY 9 AND DAY 10

Hello all, here's what we did Wednesday day 9 and Thursday day 10.

We left Cody wy and stopped at THE LITTLE BIG HORN in Montana. then we drove down to buffalo Wy and spent the night. total miles for yesterday was 284.

we ran into a small shower yesterday on the way to Custer's last stand, then the day cleared up and was pretty clear. we spent a couple of hours at the Little Big Horn. the information center had alot of really cool stuff in it from the battlefield and information on what led up to the confrontation.

Karen, you would have really liked it, I'm sure you would get some feeling's out there.

we sat through a orientation film put on by the park commission, then we had a live discussion with a park ranger who is a real Crow Indian. he told the entire story from the Indian's perspective and there were a few points where he said our history books were tainted.

we went to the top of the hill where the monument is and all the markers are where the fallen soldiers were found. the entire battlefield is 5 miles long. and the whole battle only lasted a couple of hours. they have a road put in and you can then drive out across the top of the hills and see the markers where bodies were found and battles took place leading up to the last stand hill.

while walking through the information center, the Indian memorial and the monument area, it was very sollum and nobody was saying much at all.

Today we traveled from Buffalo wy to North Platte Nebraska. The weather was perfect. we even drove out of the way a bit so we could go into colorado. total miles for today was about 557.

not sure where we are headed tomorrow.
