The good part about our alternative route is that it gave us the opportunity to see Devil's Tower National Monument in Wyoming. It is a place we wanted to visit but felt was too far out of the way. Like most destinations, I had never seen a picture of it before I had arrived. I like not having any preconceived notions or expectations of what I will experience. What was so striking and unusual about Devil's Tower which most people would never know from looking at a picture is the utter lack of any other formations around it. It is just rolling praries and bang shooting straight out of the ground an enormous cylindrical rock tower. We spent the day walking around the tower, absorbing its healing energy. We camped near by that night and woke up to beautiful antelope in a neighboring field. Witnessing so much beautiful wildlife I have never seen before has definitely been a highlight of my travels.
Dear Sterling, Erika and Clovey:
ReplyDeleteWow! What an amazing photo of Devil's Tower and no kidding about the healing energy, I bet Clovey loved that sacred space as well.
Love BB
