Devils Tower

Devl's Tower as we were coming in.




They had a Tower Trail that went around the base of the mountain and we took it. It was great.



Jeff said that this reminded him of Walker Texas Ranger! Hee hee. It actually is sacred ground to the indians and they come here each June to gather and put their prayer sacks in the trees.


Tower Trail. This is the side that is so quiet and peaceful. Love the mountains.




Little Big Horn/Devil's Tower

This is at Devil's Tower. They let the kids (hee hee) climb the boulders, but you had to have a permit to climb past that.


Jeff is looking at the wooden ladder that was used by the first climbers up Devil's Tower.


Little Big Horn Battlefield. So interesting to bring history alive. With my granddaughter Jessica.



This is last stand hill (Custard's last stand) Jeff with Jessica and Natalie.


This is something that Jeff has always wanted to do. He loves history, and he was in heaven.




Mt Rushmore





Justin, Jeff and Tyler (Jeff and Justin Jr.).

A flag for each state and when they entered the union.



Sturgis was the following week that we were there, but they were rolling in while we were there. Certainly a different lifestyle.




We had a great time at Mt Rushmore, it's amazing how they did that in their day and made them look so like them. Very impressive.
