Day 5 - Big Sky

The song for today in the cranial jukebox was "I can see for miles and miles..."  as we bid adieu to the Black Hills and crossed Northern Wyoming and most of Montana.  Before leaving South Dakota, however, we did a quick drive thru the historic district of Deadwood, then up the beautiful Spearfish Canyon.  The area is also home to Sturgis, SD, and we saw a lot of motorcycles (mostly Harley's) as they start to gather for their annual "thing".
We mostly were following Lewis and Clark's trail.  Although beautiful, it was a LOT of miles of open range with occasional bluffs.  I can't imagine doing this route on horseback or by covered wagon.  It seemed endless at 75 mph.  We crossed the Little Big Horn, going by the site of Custer's Last Stand.  I could picture the Sioux lining the top of the ridge.
Sorry - no pictures today.  We used the camera and neither of our tablet computers has a slot to download the memory card.
Tonight we are in Great Falls with less than a 3 hour drive to tomorrow's destination.
