Wyoming to South Dakota

Devils Tower National Monument in Wyoming, taken from a few miles outside of the park.







While walking around the base of Devils Tower we were able to keep tabs on two teams of climbers that were scaling the tower. This climber was on the "front" side of the tower.



That's actually me in the lower left corner of the picture, in the boulder pile.



Taken from the "back" side of the path.



The other team of climbers make their way up this side. I hope they know how much they kept us entertained as we walked around!



One of the many prairie dogs from the prairie dog town near the entrance to the park.



After Devils Tower we made our way east to South Dakota.



The Wyoming - South Dakota border is not too heavily traveled...



Bell Fourche, South Dakota is apparently the geographical center of the 50 states -- not to be confused with the geographical center of the 48 contiguous states located near Cawker City, Kansas (which everyone knows is the home of the world's largest ball of twine!).




On to Mt. Rushmore -- wouldn't Rob look good as the 5th head?
