Climbing the Devil's Tower......this isn't for those with fears of heights

Time to see some more sites, and these past few days have been full of them. Before we head on to Canada Bill wanted to visit the Devil's Tower. ( and I'm glad that we did !!) Apparently it can be seen in the movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It is an amazing piece of nature with some interesting legends about it. After parking our van ( still a minority issue) and greeting lots of biker friends....we headed to the mountain. Once again the photos tell the tale.....

                                                      It is all so big
                                      Loooook way up...can you see the climbers

                                                                 Not that way Bill !!!
                                                       Taking a break on our hike

                                                            Magnificent Indeed

 

                                                            See there are climbers

                                                        Doesn't look tooooo hard!!!



                                                          Here we  go....I think I can
                                                        See me up there
                                     Safely back on the ground...and look more new friends


                                                   Isn't that trike the coolest bike....another bike bug bite

                                                         Chatting with the  forest ranger
                                                Found a field of these little guys
                                              Some new bikes arrive...real choppers!!!!
                                               As we leave this is the line-up coming in...at least a mile +

That's all today folks...we head on into the sunset and a little closer to Canada

  1. WOW! You are the adventurous type!! Looks like you have had a TON of FUN!!! Drive safe and if you are "hitting" Canada at my neck of the woods, I have a spare bed if you need it or you could just stop for a couple of hours. Would love to see you! ;-)
