winding through wyomingYesterday, we drove from Lincoln to Hardin, MT. Quite a nice drive, but a long one. Other than a brief stop at Montana Wheat in Helena for lunch, we didn't take a break.
Woke up this morning and headed over to Little Big Horn. I've never been a big fan of cowboy and indian tales, but it's always a bit
sobering to be reminded just how unfair the US has been to the native
inhabitants of this land. The fact that this particular site was
established to commemorate Custer and his men just drove the point
home. Sure, there's a bit more about the various tribes that banded
together there now than when the site opened, but somehow it still left a sour taste in our mouths.
Spent most of the rest of the day driving on the red roads of Wyoming. G's just taken the wheel for the remainder of the trip to Keystone, SD. Looking forward to a good night's rest and tomorrow's excursion to Mount Rushmore.
