Still some snowing here today and I hear my tulips are out at home! Our first stop of the day was Devils Tower National Monument in southeast Wyoming. It's a huge, giant rock (I don't sound that excited about it do I?) Also, in the same park is a prairie dog town. That was fun. They were smaller than I had expected - about squirrel size. There were a lot of them running in and out of their holes and chasing each other. We sat and watched them quite a while - Larry was totally engrossed with them. I think they reminded him of the chipmunks he likes to chase at home! We crossed into South Dakota and are spending the night in Deadwood. Deadwood is a pretty little town loaded with casinos. The casinos help fund the city restoration projects. It is historic town from the gold boom days. Much of the downtown's old buildings are restored to their original state. Every hotel, including the Super 8 and our little Mom & Pop hotel has a casino. Eldon won about $20 and that's about the amount I lost, so I guess it's a wash. Tomorrow we head for the Badlands and Mount Rushmore.
Comments from Eldon: Yippee, kayay......cowboy up.
Comments from Larry: Prairie dogs are my favorite because they are smaller me. They sure like to run around and play, but they tell me the prairie dogs carry fleas, so I don't want to play with them.
