This was a day mostly of driving. The drive was very beautiful as we got to go through the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming. As always, we try to get off the Interstate and drive on the Scenic Byways or state highways so we can see the towns and drive the curvy roads. This time, we also got to drive through some tunnels, one that was pretty long and then a couple shorter ones.
It was a gorgeous day and the view was spectacular.
We were able to see some trains hauling coal to the eastern states.
After a few hours of driving, we got our first "black and white" view of Devil's Tower. Carson kept asking if we were going to see it in color or black and white until we finally figured out that he thought it was in black and white until we got closer. Interesting way to look at it, I guess.
This is our campsite, with a perfect view of the Tower in the background. Jeff is in heaven! This is his favorite Park, and he couldn't wait to get ready to hike tomorrow. Spencer was excited to try to find the aliens tomorrow (Thank you Close Encounters of the Third Kind from Kline Family Movie Night).
Our campground is right at the edge of the Park and a ranch is right next to it on the other side of the Bell Fourche River. Cattle and buffalo were grazing together and posing for some pictures.
The boys worked on part of another lego kit. They are really thriving on this trip and they get along almost all of the time. It's pretty awesome to watch them!
