Left beautiful Montana today. We were in Montana until about the last 15 miles when we passed into Wyoming. We both loved Montana. The country is just wonderful, much prettier than Oregon, the mountains

and valleys are just gorgeous. We stopped at Little Big Horn Battleground National Monument. Had our picnic there. We spent about 3 hrs there, looking at all the battle stuff, gravesites, reading about the whole battle. Really incredible. I stayed in the car for about 2 of those 3 hrs, Chris LOVED it.   Got to Sheridan and checked in and went looking around. Little town about 15,000 ppl, but a great downtown. There are different sculpted art works on every corner that are just great. We ate at the Rib Chop Shop. Very good. Saw some beautiful old homes, and a pretty park that had buffalo (real ones). See, we could have passed on the Bison National Park and just seen more here anyway. Wyoming I think will be flatter, but still pretty. It is the least populated state..lots of wide open spaces. We're going all the way across it tomorrow to Denver then rest for a couple of days. So far so good.
