Hardin, MT to Hill City, SD

We saw these interesting tepees along the road, at a tourist trap.


We did not have a stop at Little Bighorn in our schedule. However, we discovered we would be driving right by the gate. John had purchased and just finished reading a book, The Killing of Custer; so we decided to take a tour. This was the military cemetery at Little Bighorn National Monument, also known as Custer's Last Stand, in southeastern Montana,


There were many small tombstones scattered around the hilly area of the park.


The Little Bighorn River ran through the park


Another view of some of the many tombstones scattered around the area. A brochure stated that each stone is located on the actual spot where a soldier fell.
