Also......you can get 12 bottles of any wine and they'll ship it to your home for free! This is a good deal as Annie can do her shopping and not take up any room in the Tremor!

You can go in and they have wine tasting.......their wines are really good. They have a Rhubarb Wine that's excellent!

Perfect! Because if we get more rain here that is where I'll be spending my day (s)!

You're actually doing more than I normally do. lol

I normally don't drive this much and average around 8,000 miles a year. I had to fly out to WA and drive MP2 back which was 1,350 miles and now two weeks later we're on this month long trip which I should put sound 5,000 more miles on it. I think the two weeks I was home between getting back from WA and leaving for the trip I put on 50 miles.

Bought mine in mid February this year…I’ve put just over 9000 on it.

We made it to the Little Bighorn Battlefield aka Custer's Last Stand around 9:00am. We went through visitors center and drove the loop which took us 3 hours. There's a long walking trail you can do too with more info along the way but we skipped that as we were pressed for time.

***This is very picture heavy***
If you're not into history you can skip all of this. There's so much to see there and while I was never that interested in history in school I became more interested in it after. This and the Pea Ridge Battlefield we went to in AR last year were very educational and makes you really appreciate what we have today!

This is where most of the soldiers are buried, it's similar to Arlington National Cemetery. There are many scattered across the land also.

These are all from inside the visitors center. There's a whole room with all the history and memorabilia from the war.

This is the first thing you'll see on the wall as you enter the building.

To the left you then enter the museum with all the displays.

Yeah not a simple drive through as I expected… you’ve been and now understand… very solemn, beautiful and enlightening to say the least. Truly a lot of history displayed!!! Also a very tiring journey…

 

[canyonslicker]

Also if you noticed a lot of very small statured people…

When you leave the visitors center you can drive the loop. There's pullout along the way with a plaque and a description of what happened on that area. Sorry about the bird poop on some of them, you'd think they'd send someone around once in a while to clean it off. There's a QR code you can scan and it will tell you about what happened on that particular site. The picture following the plaque is what you see today.
