The four of us got an early start (9 a.m.) to head out to Devils Tower in Wyoming. The drive took about 2 1/2 hours. Here is an interesting shot taken just outside the park. It really is something to see standing up there all by itself in the middle of nowhere. If you would like more information on this national monument, here is the link to Devils Tower. I find the history and Indian lore fascinating. I can understand why the Indians consider Devils Tower a sacred place.
Rick made sure we had proof that we actually went inside the park.
We hiked around the base - 1.2 miles. We spent a lot of time watching climbers going up or down the face. Unfortunately, John didn't have the long lens on the camera so we can't show you any of the crazy/adventurous people climbing or hanging off the rock.Rick couldn't resist doing a little rock climbing himself. John had flip flops on and declined in joining him.
Here is a shot of the beautiful valley that surrounds Devils Tower.
We stopped in the town of Hulett for lunch. John noticed that the town believes in keeping their buildings named simply. Here is the motel and site for bingo.
Quite simply, the Bank.
On our way home, we stopped at a wood carving location. John really liked this bald eagle. Good thing he was so big and heavy.
Another fun day that ended with us playing cards and Pegs and Jokers late in to the night.
