Since this doesn't fit in the 'Off-roading' or 'Gallery' section since it doesn't involve any sort of offroading I'm posting this here.

Yesterday on my way up to Billings, Montana I fiqured I'd pay a short visit to the Little Bighorn National Monument.

National Cemetary - I was amazed at the number of graves here

As you drive along the 4.5 mile long road there are a number of pull-outs pull-outs with descriptions of the events in that specific area along with scattered grave markers.

Quote from 'Crazy Horse' a the Native American memorial at the park

Very classy the way they mark both Native and US casualties.

It felt a little creepy to "like" photos of graveyards, but very cool to see. Thanks for posting the pics.
