Sadly, I cannot make it to the Grand Muster. We have to be out in MA during that time. I had planned on being there but my 88 yr old mother is not doing well so we will be there.
We are heading west from MI around Labor day, hoping to miss the crowds at Yellowstone etc.
I was actually going to do another thread later about what else to see as we swing west. Thanks for mentioning those. Are any of the forts active/interactive? We love that stuff and usually do memberships to things like that(Plimoth Plantation, Fort Michilimackinac,Fort Mackinac etc) so we can go repeatedly.
I forgot to mention the Rosebud Battle site. It's also pretty near the Little Bighorn.
The forts I mentioned are nonexistent today (You can find the site and read the plaque) except for the partially reconstructed Ft. Phil Kearney
Well, If you're going to Yellowstone, I'd go to Cody WY and see the Buffalo Bill Cody Center. (If you do be sure to have the prime rib buffet at the Irma Hotel) Then I'd swing south and visit Ft. Laramie WY, and Forts Robinson, Hartsuff and Atkinson in Nebraska. All four do
some living history, but it depends on the weekend how much.
Unless you are taking a really extended trip you might run out of time before you run out of places to visit.
