for our real camp site
197
– number of cows we counted driving away from our campsite before we decided
there were way too many cows to count.
Montana was pretty
great, and I hope to spend more time there in the future. The only thing we
really had time for was to find the camp site at Cooney State Park after we got
off the freeway. We headed in the wrong direction, then the wrong direction 4
more times before stopping to find a camp site that was not actually ours.
Hahaha…failure of planning well on my part. But, to give myself some credit,
the website was super confusing and then the lady on the phone with the
reservation place wasn’t much help either.
On our way to North
Dakota the next day we stopped to freshen up, as there weren’t any bathrooms at
the campsite. Where we stopped was gas station/casino/McDonalds…preeeety
intense. To fully experience the awesomeness of this place I got a hashbrown
and OJ and McDs, played $1 of slots in the casino and then asked for directions
in the gas station. Classy way to start my morning.
We also stopped by
the Crow Fair, one of the biggest powwows in the US. Although the fair had not
started when we got there, a lot of the teepees were already set up. We stopped
for some fresh fry-bread with honey and took a quick look at the Little Bighorn
Battlefield.
I’ve always been
really intrigued by the Native American people and culture. Maybe someday I’ll
be a nurse practitioner to one of the Indian Nations…you never know J
