Day 52-Martindale to Miles City


After a good night sleep we had cinnamon rolls and coffee with our host. We got off around 9 Am and started our way to Billings and then Little Big Horn Battlefield. The day started out to be sunny and crisp. The temp was 40 degrees. This part of Montana is in high hills with mountains on all sides. So they have a short growing cycle (less than 90 days). So if they are to have a garden it would have to be in a hot house. But in Billings the climate is warmer and the growing cycle is longer- they can grow tomatoes and corn! We visited the Bighorn Battlefield and enjoyed it. We listened to a park ranger about the battle and took a tour. Mike really enjoyed he place (he understands military tactics more than I do). WE did learn that Ft. Carson troops come to this site and study the battle before they go to battle. It was very busy place this afternoon. After our visit we drove to Miles City for the night. Tomorrow we will head to Medora to spent the weekend.
