Touring Sheridan




After sitting around for a week being couch potatoes, Nicole and I decided that we should do something a little more productive with our last few days in Sheridan. So we decided that we where going to pretend like we were tourist. It was really fun; we only got a few funny looks from people driving by. We went to the train depot and the famous Historic Sheridan Inn. It was built by Buffalo Bill and was a major landmark for the west. We also went King Saddle, it is also world famous for it saddles and ropes. It has a little museum out back, with lots of different saddles and other western items. The lady that was at the front desk was a chain smoker, she had a cigarette in her mouth the entire time that we where there. I think that is a little odd to be smoking around all the antiques; the smoke is probably not the best thing for it.
There is not much to see in Sheridan, so we decided to take a little drive up to Montana to see Custer's Last Stand. Let’s just say that is was more than a little drive. It ended up being about 100 miles each way. It was worth seeing one time, but I will probably never go back. It is out on the Crow Indian Reservation. It was good thing that there was a lot of other tourist out there, because the reservation is a scary place to be. It turned out to be a fun day.
