In need of a clean windshield and a shower we are headed south to Jewel Cave and Mt. Rushmore. Did 440 miles yesterday through the Crow and Cheyenne Indian Reservations across Montana to Devil’s Tower. Stopped along the way in Broadus, Mt at the Powder River Stockman’s Club for a yummy dinner and a cold beer. The place was packed as their county fair and rodeo was getting underway the next day. What a place! The true “middle of nowhere”, very cool.
Arrived at Devil’s Tower in the dark. Could not see the tower even though we knew it was out there somewhere. Laid out under the milky way watching shooting stars until we could not hold our eyes open anymore. Woke up in the morning to discover that we were right at the foot of the tower...what a sight to behold. It is made even more amazing because it is the only thing like it for miles around. Took a short hike around the tower catching a glimpse here and there of the climbing nuts 100’s of feet above the ground!
Headed southeast today, to take in the sights of the badlands.
