We ended up hitting the exit for Little Big Horn while we were still in Montana. For some reason I always thought that happened over in South Dakota...hmm...I need a refresher in American History, huh?
That place is a pretty sad place. I mean you're basically walking on a cemetary, so it's not like you can't help feeling a little morbid walking around there with a camera. But honestly, it really does open your eyes to what really happened there. And it's not something you can really fully get from reading about it in a history book...
For the most part you're just looking at an empty field with tombstones at certain locations that mark exactly where the soldiers were buried after the battle. The battle took place over a pretty large area and in small clusters...the ranger there gave a pretty good accounting on what has been researched to have happened.
