Yellowtail Dam, which changed greatly the landscape and surrounding area, not to mention how people live on the land.
Look just under and right of the plant, and you'll find the grasshopper. They are everywhere and it takes some getting used to out here. Each time the group walks across a field, all you see are grasshoppers jumping in every direction.
We're on private land to see Fort C.F. Smith. (As Ed says, you don't want a fort named after you. It means you failed in your mission.) I was prepping waters in the coolers in one of the bus compartments, and suddenly heard this breath over my shoulder. Good thing I didn't have time to panic! There were six horses, but he's the one who was most interested in us and what we were doing. He was wonderfully patient with Tyler, who then, since he has a camera just like mine, agreed to take my photo with the horse too.
These next four photos are at Rosebud State Park, another key site in the Sioux Wars. This is one of the buffalo jumps favored by the Indians. You can see how effective it would have been.
I have no recollection of what Ed's pointing out here, but it's a wonderfully classic Ed pose.
The landscape of this country is just beautiful.
These next three are at Chief Plenty Coups. He was the last traditional war chief of the Crow. This house was his, became barracks for a while, and is now a State Park. The grounds are lovely, and I always feel a wonderful sense of peace here.
