Finally! We got to Devil's Tower, we finally found it on the 2nd day of traveling through Montana and Wyoming. Our navigator has taken us on a few crazy detours, one of which we filmed yesterday. We were trying to find Wounded Knee, Lucy brought us to some place down a dirt road, with a house at the end. Not what we were looking for.

When we got to the Tower, I couldn't walk up the hill, so we could see all the prayer bundles, that is private stuff anyways, that's between the Creator and the person who left it. The tower was huge, it had turkey vultures soaring above it. And apparently, eagles soar around it in the winter. We sat at the base, we rested and took pictures, it is hallowed ground, many Indian peoples would go there back in the day. Montana and Wyoming are awesome states, we talked about how we were picturing the surrounding hills filled with Indian people on horses, sitting on the horizen looking for buffalo. Pity! we only saw 6-8 buffalo, there was a farm close but no buffalo near by, we didn't see them until we got close to Crazy
Horse. There used to be buffalo as far as the eye could see.
