14-jul-19 Devils Tower - Wyoming - Deadwood South Dakota
Devils Tower is apparently an incorrect translation of an original Indian name "Bear Lodge" or something like that.
The movie "Close Encounters..." was filmed here and is show every night at the KOA campground at the base. I went to great effort to get a picture of the movie with the actual monument in the background. Now lost, Google Chrome is working very poorly for me these days, frustrating.
Youtube's Closed Captioning translation is however working incredibly well at the moment and will hopefully continue. Might prevent these naming controversies.
There is very good dry camping within the monument grounds - it is much less expensive, and I will go there next time.
There were some bits of cloth tied to trees and I took pictures but decided not to show them. I do not know what you're approach to spirituality is but the fact that many believe in it is real enough and worth respecting even according to strict Epicurean standards. Both approaches have worked for me and I have little use for pronouncements about the truth of what is defined as unknowable.
Deadwood, South Dakota
The old west is re-enacted in the streets here and convincingly enough to be both entertaining and informative.
There are efforts to change the name and others want to keep it. By any name the same, mystical, magical, spiritual. A "Must See" destination and a life changing one if you allow it.
I hiked the Joyner Ridge Trail and the deer did not notice me till quite close, the picture did not come out, the memory remains.

Wild Bill Hickock, Calamity Jane, Buffalo Bill Cody, the discovery of gold resulting in the Battle of the Little Big Horn all took place in a very narrow gulch or steep-sided ravine with a fast moving stream about 1875-76.
I'm at the Days of 76 Campsite right now at the edge of town - lots of motorcycles and colorful people still here.
