Well, we are moving back towards the west. Strangely, we are driving through gray skies and 60F temps while our hometown of Silverdale is posting ALL TIME high temps in the low 100s. Good time to be gone!We left Rapid City on our way to Livingston, MT this morning. I decided to make a side trip to the Devils Tower national monument - something I had not even heard about before this trip, but it is billed as the nation's first national monument. It was pretty awesome and I really want to return sometime when the weather cooperates a bit more and do the hikes around the base of the mountain. It dominates the surrounding countryside and can be seen from I-90 about 25 miles to the south. The tower rises about 1,500 feet above the valley floor.
We are staying in Livingston and will drive through Montana to Spokane on Thursday. Home on Friday! I am suffering from a slow network connection tonight and cannot post any pics ot my site, so stay tuned for those tomorrow, hopefully.

You've never seen the movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"?! Great movie, and Richard Dreyfuss's character makes a great model of the Devil's Tower using mashed potatoes! :-)
I had no idea. Sounds like I need to watch it now.
