I drove about 2/3 of the way to Devil's Tower. Before you congratulate me too much... it was a pretty straight interstate and I pulled off at a chain-up site for Dave to drive into the campsite. But I'm slowly learning to do everything: yesterday's lesson: the sewer!! After reading about the pig poop being made into asphalt in the Observer this morning... I guess I'm just right with the times!!
We got into Devil's Tower mid afternoon but it was so hot, we cooled our heals a few hours. Our neighbors are from Oak Ridge TN and it sure did feel good to talk Southern again! LOL There's really not much to do here but to go watch the prairie dogs (fun and fascinating) and walk around and gawk at the tower... but it sure is fun. There was a storm brewing so the climbers had mostly come down.
After supper we wandered down to part of the movie in the camp cafeteria. Of course it was Close Encounters of the Third Kind!!!!
The monument was a gold mine for license plates and I'm now down to needing just 10 ... I have great hopes for Mt. Rushmore.... anyone want to join the pool for "when will Deb find the last one and what state will it be?"(hint: all East Coast, except 1) LOL
OK... so this post should be entitled... "remembering how Mom embarrassed us as teenagers".... when we did this trip with the kids, I would embarrass the kids with my relentless search for license plates and by "talking Southern."... hopefully they are mature enough now to just laugh WITH me and join in the fun!! LOL
