tues leaving Billings.

Hi again from Junior. After spending a cozy night in Billings we stopped at a boot store to see the size 32 shoe from the world's tallest man. His name was Robert Wadlow and he was 8feet 11.1 inches tall. He had to walk sideways down stairs so his feet would fit on the stairs. The people there were going to take down the case so I couls see it better but instead I just had a young man hold me up. I didn' t want to climb up and knock over all the boots. The weather got really bad with lots of wind and rain. We went to Pompeys Pillar and met a wonderful young lady attending the gate. She has a tiny unicorn she takes everywhere. After talking to me, she told me her hobby was making cards and she gave me a whole pack of them. I have her address and am going to send her an armature I have at home so she can have a Jr. too. I like making new friends. We went to Inside wer a lot more empty animals including a one year old mountain lion that was hit by a car.  the warm visitors center. Donna tried on a bucksjin dress. It was very heavy. We are at the edge of Dinosaur country and I saw a Tyranasaurus tooth that Clark found,  I sat in a smaller version of a bullboat, and posed with Sacajawea and her son who Lewis called Pomp. I tried on Buckskin too but it was too heavy for me. The ranger then took us on a very very cold tour up to the very top of the Pillar. Clark had split off from Lewis for awhile on the waynback home to try a different river. He was only at the pillar for an hour but made it famous forever. On our way down from the 200 + steps up, we stopped to see Clark's signature where he carved it. It is the only actual proof remaining of the Lewis and Clark expedition and is sealed in bullet prood glass. There are also pectoglyphs and other signatures on the rock. I am surprised again that they have survived. Rain and wind so we went down to a cabin that was the original visitor center. Inside were more empty animals, including a one year old mountain lion that had been hit by a car. Back to the new visitors center to watch a movie and see a replica up close of Clark's signature. We continued on to The Little Big Horn and Custer's Last Stand. During the five mile drive through the battlefield, I really tried hard to imagine the Indians and soldiers scattered through the hills. There were white tombstones where soldiers had fallen and Red ones for the Indians. We also saw wild horses and then ended at the National Cemetary there. I couldn't really spend too much time outside because of the rain but especially the wind. The ranger said it was unusually strong wind. I would have been another casualty. We stopped at Miles City after a very long windy drive. Bye from Junior.
