Day 5
we started out the day by going to this nice little park, called storybook island, in search of a letterbox (if you want to find out more about letterboxing you can go to www.letterboxing.org ). When we arrived at the place where the paper said the letterbox was we saw that it was missing. From there we headed to the petrified forest. The petrified forest was cool there was petrified logs everywhere some up to 100 feet long! We went to there gift shop and then we were back on the road again. Then we went to this little town called Lead. In Lead there was a museum about gold mining. We then walked to this huge goldmine that had begun to collapse.We then headed off to Devil's Tower. As we parked in the parking lot of Devil's tower we saw Devil's Tower towering above us. We took a 1.3 mile hike around the tower, and then climbed the boulders at the bottom of the monument. Once we got to the campground we ate supper and head off to see Close encounters of the third kind. For those who have never seen the movie or have no
memory of the end takes place in Devil's tower Wyoming. The movie was outside so behind the screen you could see Devil's Tower towering above. After the movie we went back to RoVer for the night.

Loving Your Vacation
I have enjoyed reading about your daily adventures and since I have never been to the places that you are visiting, it is like taking a vacation myself. I'm encouraged that Lisa is still hanging in there and has not taken a fight home. Ben, the rings across the pool sounded like a fun Ben thing. Continue to enjoy your adventure!!
