You might recognize these 5 musical notes from the movie
"Close Encounters of the Third Kind." And if you have seen the movie, you would also recognize Devils Tower...our destination for the day.
One of the main reasons we decided to add on a two-night stay to our trip in the northern part of the Black Hills was to put us closer to Devil's Tower National Monument...something we didn't include in last year's itinerary. It's not like we haven't been there before. Bob estimates that he has climbed Devil's Tower 10 times...or at least that is his guess because he has actually lost count. But it has been some time since he has been here and much longer since I visited.
