June 26 Day 6 see Frank Sanders, Devil'sTower and Little Big Horn

It is taking less time to tear down camp. We were on our way to Devil's Tower. But first we had to see a friend, Frank Sanders and Tanya. They had been through last fall and bought bikes and rode them to 

Jacksonville, Florida.  Frank is a rock climber that takes clients up Devil's Tower. He has climbed it over a 1,000 times. He has a lodge next to the Tower.

Devil'sTower is  fascinating . When you get close to it you can only think that someone had carved it. With it's long columns running down the sides. We took the mile walk around it. It is very peaceful there.  Still you wonder why there is only one thing like the tower in the entire world.

I was looking up info on Little Big Horn and realized we would be going right by the site. When we were about to turn into the area we looked down the road and all of these Native American Indians  came riding up the road. We took pictures then went on into the site. When we got to the gate to pay they said there was no charge. It was the anniversary of the battle of Little Big Horn. June 25, 1876.

We had been reading about it but never paid attention to the actual date. 

After seeing the memorial. We headed on to Bozeman. Having been to Yellowstone several times before we reminded each other of the cycling we did through Yellowstone and even a snowmobile 

Trip. The skies were dramatic with storm clouds over the mountains. It never did rain hard but the temperature really cooled down. The winds on the highway were fierce. They even had signs warning of strong side winds . We were glad to be off the road. Tomorrow we are  off to Sprague Lake Lodge in Washington State.
