wyoming - devil's tower

i spent a day driving from the black hills into northeastern wyoming, stopping at devil's tower for an hour or two.



before getting to devils tower i intercepted an interstate where i accessed a rest stop and cell reception.  as i was sitting there, some guy named joe approached my van and said "hey, i see you're from delaware?" to start the conversation.  we chatted briefly about our trips.  he was on his way to boston from california.  we said bye, but then he returned a few minutes later and gave me two cans of beans.

close up.  it rises about 1000 feet!  great for rock climbing!

i drove for several hours until it got dark.  ended up in sheridan where i found a walmart parking lot for sleep.

  2. Ditto judi's comment!!! I love the clouds!

    Hey I looked up flight info to see if it would work out to meet you in Vancouver. Well, it would be about 600 to get to Vancouver and then if I left from Alaska to home it would be about 500!! sigh. wish it was cheaper.......... love you.
