Day 45 - Devils Tower

Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit! Dog pile on the rabbit!  KW, what are you doing?  We are playing Dog pile on the rabbit.  We are watching a buddy of mine on cartoons. It a Hare Grows in Manhattan.  Well, you all need to get ready to leave. Ok, ok, Th-Th-Th-Th-Th-... That's all, folks.
 

Now this is ridiculous tour guide. One life preserver for six of us. Alright everyone, out of the raft. This is just not safe. 
 

We're off to see the devil. We're off to see the devil. Hi Ho Hi Ho we're off to see the devil. KW, what is it tour guide?  We're not going to see the devil, we're going to see Devils Tower in Wyoming. Well dang, I wanted to Shoot him with a silver bullet, drive  stake in his heart, hold a cross in front of him. KW, he is not a Vampire. Oh ok, I'll be ready for him. I'll have my Bible. KW, it's good to carry your Bible, but this is a National Monument. Ok, ok, let's hit the road. Better let Mrs tour guide drive. She drives fast. Hey we made it. That was fast. I told you Mrs tour guide was fast. 
 

Mrs tour guide is really fast. She's already stamping. She's a stamp, stamp, stamp, stamp, stamping machine
Watch her get down, watch her get down As she do, do, do her thing. Right on the scene. She's a stamping machine.  Ah come on tour guide, you just don't Understand genius.  Well, it could be a good song. 
 

KW's turn. I am a stamp, stamp, stamp, KW, what, please stop. Ok, ok.  Not a musical bone in his body. He probably can't even give me the beat. KW, alright, fine. 
 

Ok, where's the devil?  let me at him. I'll clobber him. KW, it is a National Monument.  Oh, ok, I remember now. 
 
 
Hey Mr tour guide. Yes KW. I see you have started Usies again. Well KW, we are the tour guides. 
 

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. The shadow knows. KW you sure do have a vivid imagination. 
 

Hey tour guide..... Hey tour guide.... Now where did he go?  Wholly cow, Mrs tour guide, is the tour guide climbing up there?
 

All right you wise guys, let's get moving. We have a long way to go and a short time to get there.  That's right, all the way up. 
 

Hey tour guide, do you think she made a touchdown? No, but she climbed too high and needed help getting back down. Many thanks to the young man who helped me help her down. 
 

Native American's offer prayer ties to the Great Spirit for blessings.
 

Hey KW, yes MG, where are the rest of the Most Excellent Adventure crew. They are in the back napping. Guess we wore them out. 
 

Prairie Dog showing off for us. 
 
 
TTFN:

Devils Tower:

Devils Tower National Monument is one of over 400 parks in the National Park System. On September 24, 1906, Devils Tower was established as our nation's first National Monument by President Theodore Roosevelt. 

Buffalo Jump:

Long before the arrival of horses to North America, native people hunted bison on foot, stampeding these massive animals over steep cliffs so they would fall to their deaths. This method of hunting was dangerous but the rewards could be enormous. A single jump could feed, clothe, and shelter the people for a whole year. Much planning went into this perilous endeavor.
 

Walking, Walking, Walking:

May 20, 2016 we started walking to get 100 miles by December 31, 2016 to receive a special National Park Services patch from Thomas Stone National Historic Site. The walking did not have to be only in parks. We did our 100 miles in six weeks. Today we just completed 200 miles.
