State #5 for the Across America Trekkers

7/19- We started our day by riding into the Crow Indian Reservation where we made our way to the Little Bighorn Battlefield. We took a nice long lunch break just outside the battlefield, where we spent over an hour pouring over the Custer Battlefield Trading Post's gift shop and resting inside the brightly colored teepees on their lawn. We picked ourselves up and spent the day riding along the scenic frontage road, where we stopped for tuna fish wraps by the river. Ever on the pursuit for water (as we've been traveling along beautiful back roads), we stopped later in the day in Wyola where we were warmly helped by the Native American community. We were pleasantly surprised when one little boy took out his parakeets to play with us!! Branton, Katie, and Tyler were thrilled having the birds climb all over them. We kept on riding into the early evening and swiftly made it into our fifth state: WYOMING!!  We ended up camping on Connor Battlefield campground in Ranchester with smiles on our faces and feeling victorious.
