8/27/2024: Today was a short travel day to Devil's Tower National Monument in Northeast Wyoming, named in 1875 by Col Richard Dodge while on an expedition to find gold. It was originally thought to be an ancient volcano, but recent data suggests it's an igneous intrusion. There is a hilly paved path around its base and we walked it (1.3 miles). We saw 3 sets of climbers on its face. What a rugged sport! We are staying at the campground just below the tower. A perfect day today after storms came through yesterday an took out a lot of huge trees.
From a distance 
Cute little prairie dog 
Rocky and hilly 
I should have worn cooler clothes. It was hot. 
Crazy! 
Wonder what time they started. We saw them around 11:30 and they had a long way to go. 
I rested at every opportunity. I'm out of shape 
Many trees down from yesterday's storm
