Buffalo, WY

Sunday we spent the day roaming the Black Hills.  Visited the towns of Keystone, Hill City and Deadwood with one last look at Mount Rushmore.
Today we were on the road once again travelling to Wyoming. Rain showers this morning.  We visited Devils Tower National Monument - a huge rock formation resembling a colossal stone tree stump.  Hiked the tower trail.  Saw deer and prairie dogs.  Continuing on thru the great plains with awesome views.  Arrived at Deer Park Campground in Buffalo Wyoming around 3:15 pm.  Time for a swim before heading into town.  One of the things there is the Occidental Hotel, a historic place from 1879 where some of the guests include Buffalo Bill Cody, Butch Cassidy and Teddy Roosevelt.  Enjoyed an ice cream social ($1 for 2 big scoops) back at the campground where we were able to share stories with fellow travellers.
