A fun visit at Frank and Gretchen’s new home in Billings MT. We had a great weekend catching up, eating, and sight seeing. A great way to start the morning is breakfast at the Prairie Winds restaurant in Molt. From 8:00am till noon a live band plays music in a great old building that was once a hardware store. Afterwards they drove us out to Pompeys Pillar a National Monument. It’s a massive sandstone outcrop that rises 150 feet on the banks of the Yellowstone River. Hundreds of markings, petroglyphs, and inscriptions left by visitors have transformed this into a living journal of the American West.  The most notable visitor Captain William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, arrived at Pompeys Pillar on July 25, 1806, on his return trip from the Pacific coast.
