I sure wish I was out at LBH now. I hope all is going well with the folks who are there. Definitely thinking about them.
Ah well, perhaps next year....
Anyway, I can't wait to hear what all happened and how it went!

I got this very interesting report back from a friend who went to one of the reenactments yesterday: "we were greatly entertained by the Real Birds. After cutting up Custer and throwing him in the river, I was especially interested to hear them say that if anyone wanted to comment on the script or add something to it, to let them know!" Would you believe it? I've been trying to do that for years!  |

I was on duty as a docent on the Keogh Trail on the 24th and 25th. At about 4 p.m. on the 25th, the north wind came up, so fierce that I had trouble getting doors open in the face of it. One of the other trail guides commented that it was about the time the battle was at its height on Custer Hill. The wind continued to howl until about 6 p.m.
Now I realize that afternoon wind is a common phenomenon around there, but still...

Yeah, Melani ... I think someone is greatly exaggerating the details of Custer's demise. The General looked fine to me--no visible stitches, at least--when he went to go chow down on some pizza with the Northern Cheyenne on Monday! ;D
And, that wind was fierce; the car was buffeted all the way back on I-90. It was kind of eerie, however, to tell visitors to LSH that the battle "was beginning right now, 131 years ago today ..."
