When we were planning this journey, we thought we would try to drive most at night, but the drive-by scenery is just far too beautiful to ignore. Here is just a typical ranch, of hundreds we keep seeing. And the sky is constantly doing amazing things. One sad thing is that the back seats of our van are extremely tinted, but we rotate shotgun per drive, by age.
Devil's Tower is a sacred Native American place, and you can see it miles away. It is a very strange structure (completely natural) with long claw marks around its entirety. You can walk a close circle around it in about a mile. - It's huge! And we saw many rock climbers on it.
We had lunch in great view of the "tower" and pretended to play music by the statue, a Möbius strip shaped stone, which from the correct angle looks like a puff of white smoke around the tower. (http://jpgmag.com/photos/2601605)
Our lunch spot (but not our lunch, of course!) was shared with these little almost-endangered prairie dogs, who had a little prairie dog town right next door. They were popping in and out of their tunnel network, looking super cute.
