The above photo is an interesting feature on our drive to Billings.
This is a buffalo hide boat, similar to the one used by
Clark's team when their horses were stolen.
Where Clark carved his name and date on Pompey's Pillar.
Pompey's Pillar - named for Sacajewea (misspelled)'s son whom Clark nicknamed Pomp.
We left Ft. Benton a little before 8:00 this morning and headed to Billings and arrived about noon. Phil went to get the oil changed in the truck. Then we went to CVS to get some BOGOF CVS brand vitamins and calcium citrate for me. After that, we went about 30 miles to Pompey's Pillar and got some photos of William Clark's carved name on Pompey's Pillar (that he named). William Clark is the Clark in Lewis and Clark. This was one of the things Phil wanted to do while we are in Billings. Tomorrow he is going to Little Big Horn National Monument. I am going to stay and do laundry. We'll hit Walmart to stock up on whatever we need before heading to Yellowstone Saturday morning. It is hot here. Really! It is not humid, but it is hot. We used the air conditioning last night in Ft. Benton and will use it again tonight. I am ready to get to Yellowstone and cooler temps!
