Billings Montana Couchsurf & Visit at Custer's Cabins!
Custer's Cabins
Founded in 1907, Hardin is the youngest and largest town in Big Horn County and serves as the county seat. Hardin was named after Samuel H. Hardin, a cattleman who came to this territory from Texas.
The Bozeman Trail, used by immigrants from 1863-1866 in search of gold, crosses through the southwest corner of Big Horn County. Markers are placed along the trail and can be seen from various state and county roads.
Fort C. F. Smith, Montana’s second military post, was established by the U.S. Army in August 1866 along the Bozeman Trail to protect immigrants. No evidence of the site remains.
On June 25, 1876 the Battle of the Little Bighorn, one of the last efforts of the Northern Plains Indians to preserve their ancestral way of life, took place approximately 15 miles south of what is now Hardin, Montana.
Fort Custer was established in 1877 after the Battle of the Little Bighorn on the high bluff near the junction Battle of the Little Bighorn and Bighorn Rivers.
The million dollar fort was funded by Congress to hold the Indians in check and protect the white men who were rapidly occupying the land. Fort Custer, where 500 to 700 men were stationed, became known as the finest cavalry post in the world. Nothing remains of the fort today. In 1930 a monument was placed on site by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The monument was moved to the Big Horn County Museum in 2016.

The city is experiencing rapid growth and a strong economy; it has had and is continuing to have the largest growth of any city in Montana. Parts of the metro area are seeing hyper growth. From 2000 to 2010 Lockwood, an eastern suburb of the city, saw growth of 57.8%, the largest growth rate of any community in Montana.[] Billings has avoided the economic downturn that affected most of the nation 2008–2012 as well as avoiding the housing bust.[ With the Bakken oil development in eastern Montana and western North Dakota, the largest oil discovery in U.S. history,] as well as the Heath shale oil discovery just north of Billings,[] the city's growth rate stayed high during the shale oil boom.[Although the city is still growing, the rate of increase has diminished markedly with oil price declines in recent years.[
Billings was nicknamed the Magic City because of its rapid growth from its founding as a railroad town in March 1882. The city is named for Frederick H. Billings, a former president of the Northern Pacific Railroad. With one of the largest trade areas in the United States,[ Billings is the trade and distribution center for much of Montana east of the Continental Divide, Northern Wyoming, and western portions of North Dakota and South Dakota. Billings is also the retail destination for much of the same area. With more hotel accommodations than any area within a five-state region, the city hosts a variety of conventions, concerts, sporting events, and other rallies.[

Reliving Custer's Last Stand at the Little Bighorn
In 1876 George Armstrong Custer - the brave, reckless and vain Civil War hero - met an ignoble end at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. And every year, re-enactors in Montana recreate the clash between the 7th Cavalry Regiment and Lakota Sioux and Cheyenne warriors. Mo Rocca visits the Little Bighorn National Park, and talks with historian Nathaniel Philbrick about the soldier most remembered for his darkest hour.

Montana Town Dreams of Being Guantanamo of the Plains
Economic development officials in Hardin are looking at the soon-to-close detention facility in Guantanamo Bay as a possible fix for the jail sitting empty in Hardin.
President Barack Obama signed an executive order Jan. 22 to close the Guantanamo detention facilities in Cuba where hundreds of enemy combatants have been held since 2002. The closure is to occur in a year, during which time remaining detainees must be returned to their home countries or detained elsewhere.
Meanwhile, a 460-bed detention facility sits empty in Hardin. Built by Two Rivers Authority, the city's economic development arm, the facility was meant to bring economic development to Hardin by creating more than 100 high-paying jobs.

Hardin Montana Prison Blues
The crew of the Motorhome Diaries exposes the serious errors the government of Hardin, Montana made when it gambled the money of it's taxpayers on the construction of a prison. They wanted to cash in on the lucrative business of sheltering prisoners, regardless of whether there were victims in their so-called crimes. When the State of Montana refused to move prisoners to this never-used jail the town desperately sought to capitalize on the impending closing of Guantanamo Bay and later the offer by the so-called American Police Force. Neither scheme looks like it will work out and the taxpayers still have an empty prison.
At least they have plenty of room for the politicians who steal money from citizens on schemes such as this.

SUMMARY
=======
Montana ( (listen)) is a state in the Northwestern United States. Montana has several nicknames, although none are official, including Big Sky Country and The Treasure State, and slogans that include Land of the Shining Mountains and more recently The Last Best Place.Montana is the 4th largest in area, the 8th least populous, and the 3rd least densely populated of the 50 U.S. states. The western half of Montana contains numerous mountain ranges. Smaller island ranges are found throughout the state. In total, 77 named ranges are part of the Rocky Mountains. The eastern half of Montana is characterized by western prairie terrain and badlands. Montana is bordered by Idaho to the west, Wyoming to the south, North Dakota and South Dakota to the east, and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan to the north.
The economy is primarily based on agriculture, including ranching and cereal grain farming. Other significant economic resources include oil, gas, coal, hard rock mining, and lumber. The health care, service, and government sectors also are significant to the state's economy.
The state's fastest-growing sector is tourism. Nearly 13 million tourists annually visit Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park, the Beartooth Highway, Flathead Lake, Big Sky Resort, and other attractions.
Crow Nation
The Crow, called the Apsáalooke in their own Siouan language, or variants including Absaroka, are Native Americans, who in historical times lived in the Yellowstone River valley, which extends from present-day Wyoming, through Montana and into North Dakota, where it joins the Missouri River. Today, they are enrolled in the federally recognized Crow Tribe of Montana.
Pressured by the Ojibwe and Cree peoples, who had earlier and better access to guns through the fur trade, they had migrated there from the Ohio Eastern Woodland area to settle south of Lake Winnipeg, Canada. From there, they were pushed to the west by the Cheyennes. Both the Crow and the Cheyennes were then pushed farther west by the Lakota, who took over the territory from the Black Hills of South Dakota to the Big Horn Mountains of Montana; the Cheyennes finally became close allies of the Sioux, but the Crows remained bitter enemies of both Sioux and Cheyennes. The Crow were generally friendly with the whites and managed to retain a large reservation of over 9300 km2 despite territorial losses.

Inn Town Campground Nevada City California CA - CampgroundViews.com
Inn Town Campground ( in Nevada City California features full and partial hookup RV sites of varying length and widths, dozens of tent camping sites, and glamping canvas tents all located within a heavily forested setting. Inn Town Campground is essentially a really nice Forest Service campground with luxury amenities included. Adjacent to the Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum the campground is easily accessed from the Gold Flat exit on California Highway 49/20.
Inn Town Campground provides luxury camping amenities in a down-home and historic setting. The grounds for the park are of historical interest with a preserved location for a Chinese Burial Ground (the remains have been moved back to China), location of the old main line railroad that ran down to Colfax during the late 1800’s/ early 1900’s, and old mining equipment (located along the 1 mile trail to historic downtown Nevada City) including the infamous water cannons used for Placer mining.
Inn Town Campground luxury amenities are highlighted by the 3,000 square foot communal building featuring a comfortable reading room, game room, camping store and entertainment area with fireplace and big screen TV. The building also contains a fully stocked kitchen with two refrigerators and multiple dining tables (you bring your own food). On the back side of this building are restroom and shower facilities including two family restroom/ shower rooms. In addition there is a laundry. Outside is a propane powered fire pit, tables and chairs. By spring 2017 a new swimming pool will be added and ready for a refreshing dip.
The park was designed to include and keep as much of the natural setting as possible. The campsites and glamping tents are all located at various elevations dependent upon the natural terrain. RV access can be a bit tight for extra large RVs but anything under 40′ will fit. Tent campers have choices between drive up campsites or campsites with short hike-in access (gear carts are available). The glamping canvas tents are located in two areas with the main row sharing a community propane fire pit. A couple additional glamping tents are located a short distance away in a bit more private setting. All glamping tents enjoy fantastic backside patio views overlooking the grounds.
As noted earlier there is a foot path that provides walking access to historic Downtown Nevada City. The first 3/8 mile of the path wanders through an old garden and along wooded trails crossing old rail lines. The final distance is along sidewalks adjacent to secondary roads. Nevada City California is best described as a mix of Jackson Hole chic and Key West funkiness all mixed within an authentic gold mining era community.
In addition the park also features a community outdoor theater that plays movies in season on weekends, 2 additional bath houses (each with one outdoor shower and a dish cleaning station), and multiple propane powered fire rings. The family friendly environment, natural setting, proximity to town, and immediate access to points of historical interest all combine to make Inn Town Campground one of the more unique camping destination in the United States.
