Devil's Tower was terrific!! Weather was perfect; cool to start out with, then it warmed up but the area is in a ponderosa pine forest so there was plenty of shade, and a cool breeze, to keep us comfortable.
Wierd fact: 50 million years ago the area we walked was underneath about a mile of sediment. The Belle Fourche river has washed all that away, exposing the Tower as it went.
Another wierd fact: how uncannily clear one can hear the Tower climbers (there were at least a dozen yesterday) as they talk to one another. Paulette "Eagle Eye" Hardy was the tops for spotting teams on the rock. Must have been a good day for a climb.
After Devil's Tower (and the Prairie Dog town, the _original_ tunnelers dogs) we wandered our seperate days home. Dinner was at Margarita's, the best (and only?) Mexican restaurant in Gillette.
