Little Big Horn Battlefield
Leaving Katie and Bob’s we drove east to the Little Bighorn Battlefield to see the sight of Custer’s Last Stand,
the ancient visitor center
Jakobi where Custer fell.
Beautiful Indian Memorial
The gals collected yet another Jr. Ranger Badge.
Devil’s Tower National Monument
We continued east and south in Wyoming arriving at Devil’s Tower at sunset. Colleen was determined to hike around it and it was dark halfway around and welost the trail for a bit and had forgotten our headlamps but cooler heads prevailed and we made it out under a clear star studded sky.
According to several native traditions the tower is a giant tree stump scarred by bear claws made when seven sisters sought refuge upon it when chased by the bear. the great spirit took pity upon the girls and lifted them into the sky where they became the Pleiades star cluster or maybe the 7 stars in the Big Dipper according to others.
