Devil's Tower, Wyoming (and a flat tire)

Things are very dry here. Walking on the grass sounds like walking on
gravel. Sunny & warm; had to add some Freon to the a/c.

Left to see Devil's Tower. Impressive even fro 10 miles away. It just
spouts out of the ground. Got to the park ok and slowed to see the
prairie dog town there. Started up the drive and one of the rear tires
blew!!! Sooo I pulled into a lot there and changed the tire in front
of the tower. Took an hour but couldn't have happened at a better spot
I suppose. Now I have no spare.

I hiked around the base of the tower which is 1 1/2 miles. Just
astounding. A little different all around. Indians hang prayer beads
from the trees.

Legend says a giant grizzly clawed a rock 7 girls were on. They prayed
and the rock grew higher.
