Longview Day 2

Last night, another couple had a teardrop camper right next to us in the campground. We haven't seen a lot of them this trip. The man is in the Canadian military, so we had a nice chat about military stuff.

Today, we set out for Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump, which is a world heritage archeological site. The site was used by aboriginal peoples to hunt bison for about 6,000 years. It was very interesting and the Visitor's Center was excellent. The site had a tall rock face, and bison were stampeded over the edge. It took large numbers of people to make that happen and to process all the animals. Before the plains people started using horses, this was all done on foot.

We had a little trouble with Google Maps today, so our trip home was only 90 minutes, but it took us about 2 1/2 hours to get there. The GPS wanted us to take some gravel roads for 20 miles, so we had to backtrack.

It was very windy today. Getting gas, Phil got distracted and tripped over the gas hose. He fell pretty much flat on his face. Fortunately, he was not injured.

Tomorrow, we'll pack up and head to Babb, MT, where we'll be in a cabin just outside the gate at the Many Glacier entrance to Glacier National Park. We'll spend 2 nights there and then will begin our slow travel towards Yellowstone and Grand Tetons.Leia mais
