Columbus, MT

In Columbus we stayed at Itch-kep-pe, a beautiful city park/fishing access right along the Yellowstone River.

There was even a nice shelter where we could have our afternoon get-together.

One day we went to see more guns at the C. Sharps Arms Co.

We had a tour, and I tried to keep from yawning. (Uh-oh, the tour guide is giving me the evil eye...)

Apparently these guns are really expensive, and there is a long wait if you want one.

They did have some interesting books in their gift shop.

We also went to a couple museums, also not my favorite thing. But I did see a really cute thank-you note in the restroom.

On another day we went to Pictograph Cave State Park outside of Billings. I was looking forward to this. This is what is supposed to be in the cave.

But this is what you actually see. They say that it has to be raining with water running down the back of the cave to get a good view of it.

We then went up on the ridge that overlooks Billings and had lunch. It was a great spot, with a view of the whole town.

And looking over the edge, I saw some rusty stuff! Now I know what I've been missing!
