Left Canada 8-1-10 heading for Billings, MT before on to Sturgis.

We left Canada headed for Billings, MT for our stop for the night.  Just wanna get to Sturgis so we can ride in the Black Hills for a day and visit with our good friend Peggy and Fielding. 

We do have one special place in mind to visit along the way......Custer's Last Stand. 

General Custer's body is burried within just a few feet of this marker

White markers for Soldiers.  These indicate the actual place they found the body.  And the name of the Soldier is on the maker.


The horses even have gaves here.

Its quite humbling to walk amongst this vast area of history and think of how it must have looked back then with hundreds of Indians and Soldiers on that battlefield. 
Red markers for Warriors.  Again with the name and placed where the body was found.

The Indians have a much more interesting memorial monumnet than the boring white man. 

We left there mid-morning to ride in beautiful weather for the entire day.......till we had to out run that rain again.  Rained on us for a short time before we got into Billings for the evening, but we don't float and we don't melt so everything was A-OK.  Was nice to eat, shower and rest up for our trip to Sturgis.........Pre-rally Sturgis, this will be interesting. 

I will post those pics as soon as I can.
