Little BigHorn Battlefield


A storm blew over us just as we arrived at the Little Bighorn. Lightning and high winds sent everyone inside, but it blew through rapidly and soon we were walking through the battlefield under dramatic skies. There are many military graveyards, but this is only one of two places in the world which has markers where the soldiers  fell in battle and died. Here are two markers along the prairie path. Soldiers from the "Indian Wars" to Vietnam are buried in the graveyard above the battlefield.

Very beautiful photo's - I've always admired the wide open spaces - only been as far West as Des Moines by car ... looking forward to it some day before Mark decides it's not cool to vacation with his parents! Safe jouney!
