devils tower

at the base of the tower

yesterday we adventured on the devils tower in northern wyoming and again what beautiful country we drove thru..we were told of a route that would take 60 mils off the drive so we took it...we might have cut 60 miles off the trip but it added time...that was ok because it was a pretty ride and we saw wildlife..antelope-deer-praire dogs and some great sights.....the sun was out and it felt good ..

as we round a bend there stands the devils tower what a thing to see..we got there and looked around and it was such a nice day we took to 1 1/2 mile around it which was worth it as we saw some climbers on the mountain climbing (crazy people)..each side around looked a wee bit different..we then decided to spend the night at the national park (dry camping)..arrived at the camp site got set up--then a ranger arrived with the news to be prepared the they were expecting 8 inches or so of the white stuff called snow...lar comes in the rig to say i think we ought to go on to a place where we can get electric..i agreed i think it was a smart thing....so we checked our camping books and checked miles and decided on a campground then decided to drive further and closer to mt rushmore-crazy horse-wind and jewel caves...so we ended up in black hawk , sd...

yep this morning we woke up to snow on the ground..where we are it is just covered but watching the weather where we were gots lots more than we did..not sure what we will do today as it is not a day to go to see anything carved on a mountain as it is still snowing and foggy...not to worry we will find something to do
