Row on Row
This site has been a national cemetery since 1879; the original designation, three years after the battle of Little Bighorn, was intended to protect graves of the 7th Cavalry troopers buried there. In 1886, The site was proclaimed National Cemetery of Custer’s Battlefield Reservation to include burials of other campaigns and wars. The name has been since been shortened to “Custer National Cemetery.” (from Wikipedia.)

No way to be knowin’
Here’s a detail from yesterday’s photo of the Memory Tree. There was something about those buttons…
The title of this post comes from the Cowboy Celtic song I linked to a couple of days ago:
Just who fell first and who was last
There’s no way to be knowin’
And in the background you can see the markers where Custer and some of his troops fell.

House of Wonder
In answer to your questions:
- No, I did not visit Tinnelli’s House of Wonder.
- And, yes, there IS an apostrophe missing from the sign.
But I think we all can agree that the sign added a bit of visual interest to this abandoned building.

Star Pool
A surprise late-night thunderstorm kept me from getting the photo I wanted so this is instead the photo I got. Sometimes that’s the way it goes.

Round/House
This trip was not intended to be a road trip, but that’s how it turned out. And then that’s how we happened to be in Hugo, which as it turns out is the home to only surviving brick roundhouse in all of Colorado. The roundhouse is so important that it has its own website.
