Where are the UFOs?

Our trip from Browing, MT to Devils Tower, WY took a little bit longer than we had planned. Everything started out okay, we are traveling along, but by day's end Doug's right foot was swollen and hot. He had what we believe to be another gout attack. We found a three spot RV park in Roundup, MT (about 60 miles north of Billings) and hung around until Tuesday morning. The swelling in the foot was somewhat less and we headed east towards Devils Tower. By 6:30 pm we found a campground in Sundance, WY, which actually was pretty good and not to expensive. So this morning we were off in search for that big UFO hovering over Devils Tower.

The drive was really pretty. It still amazes me how fast and drastic landscapes can change in this great country. We have seen so many kinds of flat lands and mountains, it just never gets old. Arriving at the park we were greeted by a bunch of prairie dogs. They look so cute, but are had to photograph.

We drove to the visitor's center to find out more about this place. I have to say, up close the rock is pretty impressive and it really looks like somebody took a fork to it and made all those grooves.



On the way back to the rig we found this abandoned coal mine that looked very interesting. You never know what you will find when you take the roads less traveled.


Tomorrow we will move on to Custer to check out the area and meet up with friends of ours from Retama Village.
