We left Gardiner, Montana this morning to head back east. About ten miles outside Gardiner we spotted a Big horn sheep near the edge of the road up ahead. Luckily there was a nearby pull-off so we were both able to get some pictures of the sheep as he headed up the rocky slope. What a lucky sighting! We were both surprised at how much the sheep blended in with the landscape. If we took our eyes off him, it was hard to spot him again unless he moved. When you look at the pictures, you may have the same problem but he is near the center.

We reached Gillette, Wyoming today where we will spend the night. We will continue on to Wall, South Dakota tomorrow where we will stay until Tuesday. That will give us time to visit Badlands National Park and to check out Wall Drug which sounds pretty interesting from what we have read.
