Hayfield Fight - Visiting The Site

Visiting The Site

Montana Highway 313 runs between Hardin and Fort Smith. At Fort Smith it intersects with Rte 12, which goes north and crosses the lower after bay below Yellowtail Dam, to approach the farthest upriver boat launch site on the Bighorn River. From this intersection go 3.12 miles east, along Montana Highway 312, where there is an intersection between Montana Highway 313 and Co. Rd. 40A, (also known as Warman Loop) which is also the route that runs north to the Bighorn River Three Mile fishing access. Go north on Co. Rd. 40A, for 1.8 miles, which takes just you across (north) of the Bighorn Canal. There is an intersection with Co. Rd. 40A, and NE Warman Loup, which branches left and runs on the north bank of the Big Horn Canal. Between these two roads, to the left, is a triangular piece of land. About 124 feet out in this triangular piece of land is the marker for the Hayfield Fight. This is private land, but the public often visits the marker.

Famous quotes containing the words visiting the, visiting and/or site:

    For the Lord thy God is a jealous God among you.
    Bible: Hebrew Deuteronomy, 6:15.

    The words are also found in Exodus 20:5, referring to the second commandment: “Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image ... for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.”

    I have no connections here; only gusty collisions,
    rootless seedlings forced into bloom, that collapse.
    ...
    I am the Visiting Poet: a real unicorn,
    a wind-up plush dodo, a wax museum of the Movement.
    People want to push the buttons and see me glow.
    Marge Piercy (b. 1936)

    That is a pathetic inquiry among travelers and geographers after the site of ancient Troy. It is not near where they think it is. When a thing is decayed and gone, how indistinct must be the place it occupied!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
