Day 13: Billings (Little Bighorn)

Today I headed from Rapid City through the state of Wyoming to Billings, Montana. About one hour before I reached Billings I found (by chance) the war memorial of the "Battle of the Little Bighorn", a place where the native Americans under the command of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse and Gall had one of their few big victories over the USA. There were surprisingly also 12 Swiss men fighting on the US side, an unusual high number, compared to other European countries. Of one the guides up there told me that most of the European men have been soldiers back home in Europe and were quite experienced in combat and the life of a soldier.
