montana is really big

we broke camp early this morning and drove east.  we discovered that montana is a really big state.  we mostly had to take farm roads to get where we were going.  scenery was pretty, but didn't vary much.  we told the kids we'd get lunch when we found something.  billings did have some fast food places where we got something (marginal) but after that we were out of luck.  we never saw a place to grab dinner.  thinking about his ap american history class, jake asked if we could stop at the site of custer's last stand and since it was on the way, we did stop.  unfortunately, isaac thought that this stop was going to involve frozen custard so he wasn't happy to find a prarie marked with gravestones and signs warning of rattlesnakes.

i actually thought it was pretty cool. a piece of history that i hadn't experienced before.
