Day 15- Billings MT and Hardin, MT

Although the day started out with some dark clouds in the sky, here in Billings, MT, the day turned out to be a beautiful one. The highlights of the day were Kathy's Birthday, and the Reenactment of Custer's Last Stand at the Battle of Little Bighorn.            After Linda and I had our nails done at WalMart (the best job we have ever had done), we drove 46 miles then a couple of miles on dirt roads, to this field and hill in the middle of no-where, somewhere near Hardin, but not at the original site of the Battle. About a one hour reenactment of the history between the Indians and the Whites, the deterioration of their relationships and then the big battle. While we expected it to be either a bit amateurish or corney, it was neither and was well done, and obviously of great pride to the small town of Hardin. The horses and their riders were awesome. The little children (actors) behaved very well. Unfortunately, we never made it to the official site of the  Little Big Horn National Monument.

After it was over, we rushed back to Billings to finalize the birthday party for Kathy, only to find that the place we thought we had reserved, didn't have us down, and it really wasn't in  a part of town we wanted to be in at night with our Morgans. So I searched around for restaurants close to our hotel- C'mon In- and none could handle a party  of 27 at 7:30 PM. Ultimately, our hotel had a room we could use, I ordered Chinese takeout, ran to Costco for a birthday cake, and we had a wonderful party here. Although I wasn't able to take any pictures of Kathy, I will get one to use. Back to the room to do a bit of handwash, since we didn't seem to have time to get to the laundry today, Philip is asleep and I am trying to catch up on my blog before falling asleep myself.
And thankfully Linda's Dasy May ran perfectly today.
