Here is Custer's stone. It was the only one with flags around it, all the other ones were just white stones in the middle of a grassy field (like the one in the top left corner of the picture).
Here is Jason at the Indian memorial there. It's one big circle with all the different tribes that were involved. There are scattered quotes from some of them too.
In the visitor center there, they had weapons, uniforms, and other things from the battle site. I thought this one was funny. As I mentioned in a previous post, the Crow scouts Custer had told him it wasn't a good idea:
Here are some medals some of the soldiers got. I thought it was interesting to see some really OLD medals.
Like I said before, The Battle at Little Bighorn was a good history lesson for both of us. We left right before the park closed, and we were back on the road again.
Wyoming welcomed us next... that's the REAL welcome to Wyoming sign, unlike the other ones we had seen.
We watched the sun set as we were driving, and happened to find a nice overlook to get a picture. That's about all Wyoming is good for.
We decided to take a little bit of a detour to drive to Devil's Tower. This sign shows the Indian legends of how the tower came about.

We decided not to give this park our money. We wanted to get on the road again and actually get somewhere, so we stopped at the gate and took pictures.
