• Downright cold! Windy, too.

    June 22 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F

    It was a long drive to Hardin, MT. Phil woke up at 5:30 am! After showers and a little breakfast, we were on the road.

    The reenactment of the Battle of Little Bighorn and Little Bighorn days is next weekend. People on the Cheyenne Reservation were gearing up and we saw several gatherings with lots of horses on our way here as we crossed the reservation. Here in Hardin on the Crow Reservation, they are also gearing up. The Cavalry re- enactor slots were all filled with a waiting list in April. It is the 150th Anniversary of the battle this year. There's also other events such as a Pow Wow demonstration, historical films, fun runs, kids games, a dance, etc.

    As we arrived in town a big windy cold front came through. It is supposed to be 41 F in the morning. It was too cold and windy to cook on either our gas grill or stove so we went out for supper. If it is still this way in the morning, we are going to McDonalds for coffee and breakfast!

    We broke out our winter coats that we brought along. I am sleeping in my clothes with long pants tonight. Too cold to go to the bathroom in PJ's tonight. We do have plenty of warm blankets though and the camper is insulated.

    Not many photos today. Tomorrow we head for Malmstrom AFB at Great Falls, MT. We hope to see the First Nations Buffalo Jump which is a site where were bison were herded off a cliff in a form of cooperative hunting by early peoples.
