We spent three days in a campsite right outside of the Bighorn National Park in a town called Garryowen. Garryowen is literally the quintessential small town. A post office, a gas station and a so-called museum. The campsite we stayed in was terraced out of a hillside. The sites were reasonably level, but the view of the valley below was unbelievable. You could see a thunder storm coming from miles away.
After the storm a beautiful rainbow.
Next we spent two days at the Bighorn National Park
The Bighorn National Park also has a National Cemetery where veterans can be buried. The cemetery is filled but if you have a reservation you can sill get in.
“Little Bighorn Battlefield” memorializes a major battle fought on June 25th 1876, between Lakota, Cheyenne and Arapaho Indians against the United States Army. These tribes were fighting to preserve their traditional way of life as nomatic buffalo hunters, The U.S. Army was carrying out the Grant Administrations instructions tt remove the Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne peoples to the Sioux Reservation in Dakota Territory.
The Warriors were defending their wives and children, The Soldiers were following orders.
Life is Great on the Roan Road…
