 Off to  Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument .  We listening to the rangers talk which was very interesting.  The weather was trying to rain at times and breezing.  Then we walked around and looked over the site.  It is so sad.  Each side fighting for its own way of life and not budging in the least.  The graves look so sad on the hillsides.

















  Then back on the road again.  I love Montana.   Open ranges, no government fences, beautiful.  Each state is beautiful in its own way.  You see lots of 4 X 4 trucks in this state.   Long lonely roads.  After driving for miles we entered Wyoming.

   Again another beautiful state.  In the distance we could see these big beautiful mountains.  How cool.








 When your from Iowa mountains just impress the heck out of you.  There was snow on the tops and low laying clouds.  These are the Big horn Mountains.   Check out this photo galary on line.  Great pictures.  Now the temps have dropped to the 40's.  106 two days ago, 40's today.  What a temperature change.

    I didn't realize we were going to be driving up these very big mountains.  And down.   Wow.  Just beautiful.  We drove through clouds and then above them.  Up high enough the tops were bare.  Above the tree lines.     My pictures just can't do it justice.  We saw the medicine wheel at the top. And Snow!







 Then down.  I was shaking in my crocs at the steep descent.







Wouldn't you hate to be a truck driving and have to use the run a way ramp?  They should have a changing room at the top because I would definitely have to change my pants.



 When we got to the bottom we drove on a bridge that went right through a big lake.  The water was down but it was still pretty.  It was called Big Horn Lake.   





Our next stop?  Cody  Wyoming.





   We rented this charming little wood cabin located behind the Holiday inn.  Buffalo Bill Village Cabins. They drive you back there in a golf cart to check out the room.  They are clean and cute and each room has a stuffed buffalo to cuddle up with.  I was charmed.







 We cleaned up and went out to eat at Bubba's rib shack. 

    We have been so lucky with eating out.  We will go to a place that is packed and still get seated right away at the last table.  No wait at all.  Ton's of people behind us waiting as tables get empty.  It was this way the entire trip.  anyway at Bubba's once again more foodthen I could possibly eat but Rick shared my meal.  The food is great and I recommend it if you go there.

    I really liked the town and there is so much to see I wanted to stay another day.  The rooms are pricey so we shall see.  We walked around and I got some knives for our sons.  Then back to the room to sleep.  Another great day.
