On Sept 23rd 2009 we left Yellowstone and headed east across Wyoming to the top north-east corner for a stop at the RV park right below Devils Tower… For those of you who think it looks a bit familiar, it was the tower in the movie “Close Encounters”, remember he was making it in the mashed potatoes?? Anyway it was pretty spectacular and we set up the RV for the night in a beautiful spot with a great view of the Tower. (Unfortunately we did not see any UFO’s) We did see LOTS of stars! The night sky was just breathtaking! From there on Sept 24th 2009, we headed into South Dakota to check out “the dead guys on the mountain” as Jody called it… better known to most of us as Mount Rushmore. All in all the trip was a long one but certainly well worth it. We are thankful to our friends Jody and Charlie for inviting us along on this cross country adventure. And Jody, don’t worry we won’t make you go on any more long drives (more than 4 hours) especially to see nature, National Parks or Historical Monuments. 
And when we stopped for a drink and dinner at the “Red Garter Saloon” near Mt Rushmore I even managed to get in a quick horse ride!!
