| This is Devil's Tower in Wyoming. The natives called it Bear because the outside is scored as if a bear slashed the sides of it. A white military man misunderstood the native word for bear as bad dog and he translated that into Devil's Tower. I like Bear better. The lava tubes are visible from the outside. |

| Walking on the 1.3 mile loop around the base we found a leafy spurge hawkmoth caterpillar. We arrived at 3:30 because that is when the parking lots open up as other people leave. We saw 2 climbers descending the tower and 2 other climbers climbing up. |

| This National Park was a 5 hour drive out of our way but it was cool and the grand girls got another National Park junior ranger badge. |
