I forgot to tell you about the Walla Walla valley. This is a very fertile sheltered region of land in Washington State. Possibly extending into Oregon. The Nez Perce tribe lived there for hundreds of years. Along came the Europeans and tried to drive them out. Chief Joseph led his warriors and he was so good a fighter his tactics are still thought in military school. The Europeans eventually beat them and horsed them all a thousand miles away to Oklahoma. It makes my blood boil. The yanks will never have luck for it. The Brits did it and they are bucked and the yanks did it and they will soon be bucked. Why anyone would fight for either is beyond me.

It was not a case of a great military leader, it was a case of fighting to keep their home lands against bigger numbers and technology. The Indians lost in every case, the Irish managed to survive and set up their own state. Lets see how the Brits and yanks manage against Putin. They have been softened by fighting climate change

I am home, the trek is completed. Helena is the Capital of Montana. We were not there or in Billings.
