| Downtown Glasgow, MT |
...we headed south to Miles City. Well, our destination is Custer's Little Bighorn Battlefield National Park, but stopped here (it's about half way).
The landscape between Glasgow and Miles City changes drastically, passing through an area that is what we anticipate the Badlands of South Dakota to look like. Less rolling hills and prairies, and much more choppy and broken up. But beautiful and vast. Jack describes Montana as "honest" and I think that is a great description.
The RV park here is sparse, but comfortable. Miles City is quite nice too, complete with a lovely centrally located park, swimming hole, and pretty much anything one could want in the way of shopping.
We visited the Range Riders Museum. Range Riders are men who "rode the prairies before there were fences". The museum contained just about every artifact ever found related to living on the prairies before about 1940. It was fairly interesting. The curator was even pleased to show us a 70 pound mud blob that had been pulled from a cow's hoof. But most of the displays were more relevant to real life than that.
