After leaving Yellowstone we traveled through some pretty scenery and the fur trees below reminded us of the great time we lived in Canada. Shortly after we went through more rugged terrain. Finally arriving in Billings, Montana on our way back to Rapid City. Once we realized that Little Bighorn was in this area we stayed an extra day and what a day it has been. Not only did we get to spend several hours walking the ground of Custer's last stand ( this will be covered in the next blog entry) we were also caught in a another very severe hailstorm and there is a a current tornado warning in place until late this evening. More to follow on this towards the end of this post.
Billings is a very easy city to navigate and we have met some of the most friendly folks.
Our late lunch included teriyaki steak, seared tuna and crab and artichoke bake. It was all delicious.
We enjoyed the food so much we returned that evening for dinner. Beverley had a delicious Paradise, chicken salad .
Ross enjoyed an interesting combination of foods, in the form of a strawberry, watermelon, white balsamic with blackened shrimp, all of which was very tasty.
The finish was a French Cognac.
Back to the hailstorm and this how the water collects. The hail was so heavy and mixed with the water it looked like melting snow. The water was so deep that cars had to be careful not to get stuck. We did see some smoking engines as they ploughed through the water.
There were some upset people when they saw the car park. The water was up to over the wheels of the Cadillac.
Sometime after the storm had stopped the was still evidence as can be seen at the entry into the restaurant . As late as 11 pm this evening there is still generous heaps of snow around the City.
Next entry will be on the our day with Custer.
Best wishes to all.
Beverley and Ross
