The museum has lots of old buildings including a train depot from Red Lodge and some old train cars! Here we are on one of the train cars-- we think it looks like a caboose.
Finally we reached Wyoming. We had to document this momentous occasion of course!
It was nice to reach our destination. I was glad to stop for a few days. We visited both sets of my companions' grandparents. We went to an outdoor pool in Sheridan and to the movies in Casper.
Then it was time to head home. On the way back we stopped for ice cream in a town with the best name ever!
We also made a stop at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. In the museum we learned that the Native Americans had over 80 uses for buffalo. They used almost every part of the buffalo from the muscles and sinew to the hide. I had to get a picture of that!
Another interesting thing I learned from the Battle of the Little Bighorn was that it took only about two hours before it was all over. There are a lot of tombstones. White stones designate a soldier and red stones designate a warrior. This is the only memorial in the western hemisphere that has markers where the people actually died in battle. In this battle, the Native Americans won.
I LOVED my trip!
