Aug 5 – We toured the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody. If you are ever near Cody you need to go. It’s fantastic. We spent the entire day there. They have a gun museum that Val and Maggie even found interesting and that’s saying something.
After leaving Cody we drove to the Devil’s Tower in Wyoming. It’s a huge rock thing that sticks up over 1200 feet above the neighboring river. It was featured in the Close Encounters of the Third Kind movie many years ago. We walked around the base (about 1 ½ mile walk) and watched several climbers making their way to the top. We all agreed that it was better to watch than climb.
Today we drove to Rapid City, specifically Ellsworth AFB, and will spend the next several days here. We plan on seeing Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse monuments as well as other touristy things. Maggie and Gary are going to the Sturgis motorcycle rally. They’re expecting 500,000 bikers this year. Too crazy for Val but the other two want to see just how crazy crazy gets. I’m sure you’ll see a photo or two in a couple of days.
