When I was there last year, I now remember, a ranger said there was some recent data from ground penetrating radar that suggested there were some interesting things buried quite deeply in Deep Ravine. Cheers I hate it when they give you such tantalizing hints. It makes me want to grab a shovel and head out that way. Maybe they need to start a go fund me or a kickstart to finance it.

I am not very knowledgeable about Deep Ravine as most of y'all are but I do have some questions: 1) The climate in SE Montana is sometimes harsh and ravines would the course for erosion and would not poorly buried bodies be washed away not to mention scavengers fairly quickly? 2) On the other hand did Benteen not state he saw 28 bodies and draw a sketch of the battlefield that showed a revine where they lay? 3) The ravine was described as having very steep banks where men could get in but not out. Yet the pictures I have seen show the present day ravine does not have steep walls. Could this be a natural change from weathering or is it the wrong ravine/location? Regards Dave

We need Montrose to lead us in a special operation after closing hours.

If you walk down close to the river it has steep walls. Hopefully our float trip will go past it.

If we work quick enough, they'll never know we were there. I think QC has a Jack Russell, if I recall right, it could probably do the work of several of us. Beth

He will be 2 in August and has the athletic build. He runs with our horses for exercise. His name is Josey Wales.

My 12 year old Bichon Frise will be useless but he is adorable and loves treats. Comic relief?

Our neighbor in Florida had one and he was quite a character and for all of his adorableness was one tough little dog. I can bring Casey our Golden Retriever/Border Collie cross. He doesn't realize he's a dog and he is totally neurotic but...come to think of it there are no buts other than he's loyal to a fault and loves nearly everyone--except the big mouth black lab next door (though one time he shocked the heck out of us because he started growling at a repair man for absolutely no reason)

They don't have antibiotics in Colorado that will treat your Bichon Frise condition? Do you have it real bad like Irving had that ROTC in No Time for Sergeants? Regards Dave

By the way, the correct pronunciation is "bitchin' frizzy" ;-)
