It was an easy/hard drive to Garryowen. Strong winds meant it was hard to keep the RV on the road but most of the drive was interstate because we just wanted to get there. We’ve found that Northern Nevada, Wyoming and Montana all have really strong winds, with strong gusts of 40 mph.
When we got to the RV park the temperature was 100 degrees F with no shade. The thermometer read 110! We were ready to pack up and leave but it was hot everywhere nearby. We waited inside the RV with the AC running until evening then we went exploring.
Somehow the tranquility of the picture of the Little Bighorn River valley fails to show both heat and wind!
We came to Garryowen to see the reenactment of Custer’s Last Stand on Friday. The plan was to ride our bikes from the RV park to the location but the RV park owner said it would not be safe. The frontage roads have no shoulders and the speed limit is 70 mph! So, we found a place to drive/park the RV that was closer to the site and then we could ride just 1.5 miles to the re-enactment. We have bright vests to wear and we’d go early to avoid most of the traffic.
