The Big Horn Mountains
I'm writing this from Sheridan, Wyoming. Staying with our daughter and her family, my wife and I have enjoyed a wonderful week.We camped by the North Tongue River at about 8000 feet elevation and visited the Medicine Wheel up about timber line. (More about this place in a later entry.) The last mile and a half to and from the Wheel was an uphill and downhill walk that exhausted us all, especially the children.
Yesterday we visited the sites of the Wagon Box battle and the Fetterman Massacre and picniked above Lake DeSmet. The Big Horns and this valley just east of them are very beautiful. And very peaceful.
But yesterday I heard on the radio that our troop level in Iraq was 162,000, the highest yet. And this morning I continued to run across articles like this. Back to real life, huh.
