Back in Cody again! We spent one more night at Pretty Eagle Elementary, then headed east to the McCleary Ranch for breakfast and cuddling some baby farm animals. THANK YOU, Mrs. McCleary, Katie and Austin!
(Q: What do you get when 25 people sleep in the same room? A: Rainbow worms!)
Afterwards, we headed through some pretty massive flooding to Crow Agency in order to visit the Battle of Little Bighorn National Monument. The wind howled and the rain fell, so we mostly kept to the visitor’s center (I’ve been up to Last Stand Hill many times before, so I felt decent skipping out on a soggy journey). We listened to Steve Adelson’s battle talk (totally riveting!) and that was followed up by talks from Burdeck and Noel Two Leggins. We made our last stop on the Crow Reservation at Putz’ Trading Post for buffalo burgers and Indian tacos before heading back to the Rising Star Ranch.
Laura’s parents graciously hosted a fantastic barbeque with all the best fixin’s, and even some twinkly lights in the trees!
(The gang gets cozy….thank goodness the rain stopped!!)
I can’t lie – one of the best parts of today was the very very end, where I got to grab a shower and sleep in my very own tent by my very own self. Tomorrow we’re off for our first field session, so stay tuned!
