Drove a while to Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. Walked around the tower led by a ranger....very interesting.......Devils Tower was more impressive to me than Rushmore. Loved it.......It means so many thing to different people, it’s in every climbers top ten list, to the native America’s it’s a spiritual place where prayer bundles are hung from the trees, and to the average tourist it’s just simply a sight to behold......from far away as well as up close.
Decided to take the longer scenic route to the site of the Battle of Little Big Horn.....70mph in a strait line for 3 hours......I had a thousand grasshoppers crammed up in the grill and the lights by the end.
Battle of Little Big Horn didn’t go so well for Custer.......or his 300 men. Great Ranger talk......most Rangers seem to know all about history and not much about nature.....and next to nothing about birds.
Billings Montana....saw something wild tonight......One of my favorite vacation tactics is investigate any large gathering of vehicles in any one place....This time I ended up in the tenth row of an actual livestock auction. They’d parade the horse for sale in one gate on one side of the room.....auction it off....and send it out another gate. While in the room the horse was ridden back and for demonstrating its skills etc......the guy next to me gave me all the details....What makes a horse so expensive? Its skill level combined with it’s breeding heritage. There were times when this lady would step in and add a few things to the horses description before the sale......the guy informed me that this lady was the #1 quarterhorse breeder in the world and that she was a millionaire......
There were a couple of cute kids about 7 years old waiting for their dads....passing the time away roping a this fake calf thingy.
Tried a Wal-Mart that night to sleep but I was unaware that the locals enjoyed using the lot after hours for car racing and burnouts.....had to check out and move down the road.
