Sundance WY, Devil's Tower & Little Big Horn

Wednesday we traveled from Keystone,SD to Sundance WY.  It was a short trip so we had time to play tourist. We went to Devil's Tower National Monument (basically a VERY large stone in the middle of nowhere), but always breathtaking. We were humming the tune from "Close Encounters " for the next hour. .

Then we  drove the loop until we came to the Vore Buffalo Jump which is a sink hole where the Indians trapped the buffalo. They are still excavating the site but there were six layers of discarded bones , very impressive

Later that evening Vince, Melodie and I did some "geocaching" in the city of Sundance. We found one real easy but I think Vince was having some trouble convincing the " Sundance Kid" to give up his treasure.

The next day Vince and I went to Little Big Horn.  We both wanted to hear the full story of the battle and view the battlefield, but the 8 hour round-trip drive has done me in on long car trips!  Archeologists have recently been able to recreate the battle with evidence of shell casings and types of bullets.  One of the most interesting facts is that the total battle lasted only an hour and a half - with the final "stand" over in about 30 minutes.  

Here are 2 pictures to give you a taste of some of the road hazards we have encountered...

Is that house taking up BOTH lanes!?!?!?

OK, so the RV isn't supposed to be an off-road vehicle...
