Road Trip USA: Seattle to Little Big Horn Battlefield (1393km)

This second leg of the US road trip took us across Washinton and into Montana, where we visited the Little Big Horn battle field, or the last stand of Custer!

This is one of the ingeniously designed freeways in Seattle stacking the opposing directions of traffic one on top of another to cut down on space, unfortunately it makes it a nightmare to get on and off the bloody thing, and kept us amused for at least an hour, trying to work it all out!We moved on from Seattle to make up some mileage through the night, Lee drove a good 500km while i slept, and we swapped over at Spokane when we re-fueled. I drove through Montana and put another 490km on the clock, while Lee had a sleep, before handing back over to Lee at Butte (re-fueling again), an town stuck in the a time warp, full of 80's cars, and the old classic American cars we all dream of! Travelling across Montana Lee took this clever shot while he was driving, you can see the great view of the mountains both in front of us in the foreground, and also the mountains behind us in the wing mirror!

Sign at one of the rest areas we stopped at!
Lee drove us to the Little Bighorn Battlefield national monument, where we took time out of the car to take a walk around this monument, which follows the clash of Custer's American army against the naitive indians! It must be the one of the few monuments where the Americans admit to losing something!

Custer's last stand! His grave can even be seen in this shot!
