On our way again

We stopped at Little Big Horn. It's kind of impressive the length they go to make out like Custer wasn't a glory hog-idiot. They had a great quote from one of the Indian scouts that was basically "I'd never seen more Indians in one place before, none of the scouts thought the white men could win, but they said we were going to fight"

There was also a quote that explained just how much of a paradigm shift the native Americans were facing. A Crow scout talked about how the Crow chiefs felt that fighting the other three tribes with the Whites was the only way to preserve their land and way of life.

We stopped in Billings and are now leaving for Yellowstone.
