Little Bighorn Battlefield National Park, MT

7th Ranch Camp
August 27, 2014 We are at 7th Ranch RV Camp, near Glenowen, Mt. This is a beautiful camp built into the side of a rolling hill on a ranch. We spent today walking about Custer Battlefield. They have what they call the deep ravine walk which we did. We also walked up to the Memorial atop Last Stand Hill where Custer died with the last remnants of his troop.  Erecting a monument to those soldiers who died in the battle; they dug up all the bodies that they found and buried them in a mass grave under the monument. This was necessary because the original burials were hurriedly done and shallow.


We've seen a great diversity of battles in our 5 months of traveling; from the Indian wars, through the Revolutionary War to the Civil war.
