Monday, 7/13 we went for a short ride north and west from Custer to Spearfish, South Dakota. I have to say, although I'm a traveling cat, my belief is the shorter the trip, the better, so I was pleased with this trip. We were all set up at our new RV Resort, the very beautiful Elkhorn Ridge, within 2 hours of leaving Custer.



These last couple days have been relaxing for us cats in the bus because the humans have been sightseeing all around this area. When they come home they fill our ears with their travels.

They loved going to Devils Tower, a large rock formation revered by several Indian Nations and sticking out of the earth all by itself in northeastern Wyoming. There are several theories as to how the rock formed but all the theories conclude that once the Tower was formed the earth around it eroded away over millions of years, leaving it jutting up from the surrounding prairie. Our parents walked the nearly 2 miles around the tower and even saw mountain climbers on the back face of the monument.
