I PUT MONTANA IN CAPITAL LETTERS IN HONOR OF THE STATE ITSELF. MONTANA IS A BIG PLACE.
And we liked it. There appears to be more horses than people. Big, beautiful horses everywhere. Pilot felt like a little poodle.
We stayed in a place called Anaconda and one called Hardin. I wouldn't recommend either place unless you want peace and quiet. Lots of peace and quiet. You'll save a lot of money because there's very few places to shop in either place.
We didn't get to enjoy Butte, Bozeman or Billings. I'm sure there's many opportunities to shop and entertainment to enjoy in those towns. But we will be back and visit all 3 of those places.
One place we did visit, very close to Hardin, and the reason we stayed there, is Little Bighorn National Battlefield. This is where Lt. Col. Custer lost his life and over 250 other lives. Compared to soldiers, there were very few Indians that lost their lives.
One of the park rangers held a 30 minute explanation of what happened there. It was a very sad story of promises broken and humans being human. Our campground host lent us a DVD to listen to as we drove through the park. It became very clear what happened, why and the mistakes made.
Instead of me trying to explain, here's our pictures that tell a little of the story. Then a link to the park itself, for more info.
