Devils Tower

Close Encounters

So since we were within 2 hours..

we decided to take the drive up.

So we borrowed my parents car..

took off through the rain & fog..

and came closer..

and closer...

This monolith is amazing.

Despite the connection to the movie..

it's a very sacred place for the Native Americans.

There were a lot of  'prayer' cloths on the trees..

We hiked the whole loop trail and

got different sides to the tower.

 

We finally found our way around 

to the other side and back to 

the beginning. We found a kind soul to 

take our picture:

Certainly shows the perspective!

On the way back to Custer, we found

a great little grill in Hullet, WY.

Sat next to people from  Long Island, NY..

small world.

We made our way back..through the

prairies. The colors are starting to change 

just a bit..

Nice end to a nice day!
