Today we were joined by Nancy & Vern, fellow HitchHiker friends. They pulled into the park also for the holiday weekend. We all went to lunch after they set up and then drove a short distance to the site of the Battle of Canyon Creek between the US Calvary and the Nez Perce Indians lead by Chief Joseph. There's a small fire pit inside the memorial containing feathers, burnt sage, & bead bracelets left as a memorial by native Americans. In the afternoon Jeff & Susan stopped by again & the six of us had a nice visit.
As the sun was setting Judy took the picture of the refinery across the Yellowstone River, good shot huh? We also learned that the several stone buildings here in the city park were built by German POWs during WWII and used as their barracks. They worked on local farms also until the war ended, interesting tidbit.
