Every day that I've been in South Dakota, the Weather Channel warns me that there will be rain and thunderstorms the next day. And every day I wake up, the weather is beautiful. It stays nice until 3 or 4 in the afternoon and then there's a thunderstorm. This system works fine for me. Rob and I woke up, saw the clear skies, and set out for the Devil's Tower in Wyoming.

I took this picture about 6 miles from Devil's Tower.

I did the 1.3-mile hike around Devil's Tower. Do you see any people in this picture? Look closely...

Maybe a little zooming in will help to see the rock climber. If you click on the picture it will zoom even more.

Here's a shot from the other side.

Prairie Dog!

I looked at a map when I was at the Devil's Tower -- no offense to Mrs. Weasleby, but sometimes I like to see the big picture. I realized we were about 30 miles from Montana, a state I never visited. So of course, I had to head north just to add it to my list!

After driving through the southeast nugget of Montana I returned to South Dakota. I wanted to visit
Sturgis to see where the bikers hang out. I ate lunch at The Knuckle Saloon, one of the biker bars. It reminded me of... a biker bar.
After Sturgis I drove over to Deadwood. I was intrigued by the many casino billboards I had seen. I visited one of the casinos. I was the only player at a $2 blackjack table. It was weird. I guess I'm used to the more crowded casinos in Vegas or even Atlantic City. I played a few hands and took off.
