The place was really neat, most of the animals just wandered around and you could pet them and feed them. Then they had other areas with activities. We watched a pig race, and the kids rode ponies and a little train. It was a nice ending to a fun visit in South Dakota!

| CANAM Highway |
We left South Dakota and drove to North Dakota on the CANAM International Highway. The CANAM Highway runs from Mexico to Canada!

| Notice - not one single tree...just grass! Weird huh! |
In Bowman, ND, we checked out the Pioneer Trails Regional Museum. It was surprisingly interesting! North Dakota has dinosaur archeological sites and you can even go on fossil digs in the area! How cool!

| Yellowstone River |
We learned there is a connection between Montana and Texas, because back in the late 1800s there were big cattle drives that would travel from Texas all the way to Montana! Pretty wild huh?! We think driving in an RV from Texas to Montana is long…can you imagine riding it on a horse and herding cattle?!

| Headstones for soldiers that died at Custer's Last Stand. |
In Montana, we went to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument. It’s very sad to think of all the people that died during the fight over land between the Native Americans and the white man.
When you look out over the hills, you really can envision the soldiers and Native Americans battling and then seeing them die on the battlefield.
The guide told us that the Little Bighorn Battle is second only to the battle at Gettysburg for being the most studied battle in the US.
