27 miles today in the Hulett/Devils Tower area of beautiful Wyoming.  We went back to Devils Tower and again walked the 1.3 mile trail that encircles the Tower.  But today we did it counter-clockwise, rather than clockwise like yesterday.  As you can see, we can't quite get enough of Devils Tower!  There were numerous other hikers today and not much English being spoken.  But based on what we could hear there were many representatives from Japan and France, among other countries.  We had a quick hotdog lunch at a Tower snackbar and then headed back to Hulett where we spent a couple of hours swapping collector stories with Western artist and owner of Rogue's Gallery, Bob Coronato.  We didn't buy any major items but quite a variety of things, ranging from books, posters and antique iron, to an 1800s bottle excavated at the site of a saloon in historic Tombstone, Arizona.  The bottle came with comprehensive documentation describing the circumstances of its discovery.  The Jeep is beginning to overflow.
In a few minutes we head down the road to get some grub, probably fresh Wyoming beef!
     Please take care all.

  1. I saw my "name" at the end of this message and went right to that line to make sure you weren't trying to tell me something directly.

  3. Are you going to have to pick up a small Uhaul trailer to make it back home? 😊
