Today was more a day of driving than anything else. I had decided to make a stop at Devils Tower (the nation’s first national monument) and then drive as far as possible. The site is in the corner of Wyoming, so my drive was beautiful. It was exactly what you would imagine Wyoming to be in the winter. Unfortunately for you, God and I were having a discussion about how wonderful His handiwork was, and I forgot to take pictures. I’d just round one corner after another and find something more breathtaking than before. I was jolted back to picture taking mode when my eyes took in the first glimpse of Devils Tower.
As I headed out of the park I found this pack of mule deer. How many can you spot in the picture? Feel free to double click to get a bigger picture.
Since the visitor center at Devil’s Tower was closed I decided to stop at this shop for a few souvenirs. The couple that owned the store was really nice. I must have been their first visitor in some time as it is the off season. When I walked in I saw the wife and she immediately made eye contact and said to me “This sink is not working. It sprays me with every time I try to use it.” I thought to myself., “What about a hello? What on earth makes you think I’d care about your sink? Wait, I’m finding myself caring.” There was just something endearing about her quality that made me want to engage her in conversation, which is a rare thing for me. About the time I was conscience of my concern for her sink, her husband poked his head around the corner to add that he thought he had it the problem identified. As I looked around their little shop they chatted with me and even helped me find what I was looking for. There was something cool about interacting with these people that I had never met before and would never see again.Like I said before. the rest of the day was just driving. Yes, I did take this picture from a moving vehicle, but I wanted you to have and idea why I got so caught up in the scenery. They don't call it Big Sky Country for nothing.
