Wonderful, wide, wild WY!!

Devils Tower from the bottom - did not make it to the top!
One of the many overlooks that day!
We had a fabulous day going about 30miles from campground to Devils Tower. Most of the way was on gravel roads thru the mountains. Beautiful, scenic, steep (sometimes) mountains ALWAYS with beautiful scenery. At Warrens Peak @ 6800 ft we could see Devils Tower (about 5100 ft)  below us in the distance. Magnificent scenery, stunning landscape, wonderful weather all come together to make a great visit. Also, BJ just reminded me of the cattle we kept running into (not literally) along these gravel roads in the hills. This is what I guess they call open range.

Our camping spot in the National Forsest

One of the trails we hiked in the Black Hills


Cattle roam around at their will. We had number of them stare us down as we went by them as they stood on the shoulder of the road.
As I said we had a fabulous day and are looking forward to tomorrow. We had planned on staying only a few days, mainly to see Devils Tower, but ended up extending thru Saturday when we have to move on to Gillette to the RV rally we have been planning on since April!
