We left the Mountain Range RV Park and took County Route 313 east to Crow Agency just outside the Little Bighorn Battlefield Monument.
For the past several hundred miles, the RV has had a miss or sputter when accelerating through about 40-45 MPH and only if the acceleration is mild. It has seemed to not do it if I mashed the pedal down and has been very intermittent and mostly unpredictable. Well, as we were touring Little Bighorn, it began to happen more and more and I was able to reproduce the problem almost at will. We were not that far from Billings which was the nearest Mercedes dealer. We decided to backtrack to Billings and have it looked at. But first, we'll finish our Little Bighorn tour.
We visited Little Bighorn in 1970. Since then, the area has been enlarged and several Indian monuments have been positioned where an Indian was known to have been killed. There were not many because most of the Indian casualties were carried off by survivors and the Indian women. Of note, is the relatively new "Peace Through Unity" Indian Memorial honoring the Native Americans who died in the battle.
It was getting late, so we headed to Billings. We did not know what the next day might hold and if the RV would be in the shop for quite a while leaving us without wheels and homeless, so we wanted to locate as close to the dealer as we could and, hopefully, near restaurants and motels. We opted for Billings Village RV Park.
