Little Bighorn Campground and Bird Houses Galore!

Tuesday, 18 June 2013.  Before moving on to a blog entry -- or more likely, at least two or three entries -- about our sightseeing at Yellowstone, I have to say a few words about our campground -- 7th Ranch RV Camp -- while sightseeing at the Little Bighorn National Battlefield.  Our campground was really great and we got a great campsite with a view to die for.  We could see for miles and miles across the Montana landscape.  Hope the following pics do it justice.

 View of our Winnebago's campsite on the campground's "upper shelf."

View from our campsite looking down across the campground.  Building at left houses the bathrooms and showers.  See what I mean about "seeing for miles and miles?"

Looking back at our campsite up on the hill, with bathhouse to the right.

View of rental cabins -- and a teepee -- available at the 7th Ranch RV Camp.  Once again, notice the view from our "upper shelf" campsite.  Spectacular!

The following set of pics show somebody's talents for making birdhouses -- and then using them to line the campground's entry/exit road.  This is only a sample -- some were quite distinctive. 

Where a post had no birdhouse, somebody placed a stone.  Assume to keep the birds off the post and thus no bird poop!  Pretty smart!  And those are two bluebirds on the "Fresh Produce" birdhouse and on the horizontal post.  They were polite enough to pose for us before flying off!

A close-up of that bluebird.

Before concluding this blog entry, I have to mention the spot we found for lunch after sightseeing at the Little Bighorn National Battlefield.  Our camp hosts recommended the Custer Battlefield Trading Post Cafe, just outside the actual battlefield.  They suggested trying the Indian Tacos on the menu.  So we did.  Turns out the Indian Taco is an open-face taco (usual ingredients) using Indian fry bread for the bottom.  Lynette ordered that while I opted for something called a Bear Paw, which was basically an Indian Taco fried inside Indian Fry Bread.  Both were very good, slightly spicy, and ample portions.  All in all, a good choice for our lunch on this day.
