Devil's Tower Wyoming

This summer we struck out from South Dakota for a trip to Yellowstone. After an overnight stop in the Black Hills we made a quick stop at Devil's Tower to break up our long trip across the state of Wyoming.

Cody Wyoming

We spent a couple hours at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wy.

Yellowstone National Park

We treked from the Black Hills of South Dakota across Wyoming to visit Yellowstone National Park. It was a worthwhile trip that included an overnight stopover in Cody, Wy.

Grand Teton National Park

We diverted a few miles south of Yellowstone to take in the Grand Tetons and make a quick visit to Jackston Hole, WY.

Old Faithfull

Our trip to Yellowstone was not complete until we witnessed Old Faithfull "blow its top". The weather was nice and the crowds were light, making it a great experience.

Geo-thermal Yellowstone

Yellowstone Park is covered with areas of exposed hot water in the form of springs, streams and "mud pots".

Lower Falls of Yellowstone River

Sheila and Christopher pose next to the famous "Lower Falls". This part of Yellowstone is called the "Grand Canyon" of Yellowstone National Park.

West Yellowstone Dust Devil

This powerfull dust devil suprised us in the middle of town. We eventually drove right through the middle of the devil with sand and rocks raining down on the car.

Little Bighorn Battlefield

This is the spot where Custer's "Last stand" took place. We stopped here (central Montana) on our way back from Yellowstone NP.

Panning for Gold

A trip to the Deadwood, SD was not complete unless we took time out to pan for gold. Christopher managed to glean 10 gold pieces from his "stake".

Shark Tooth Hill

One afternoon we drive about an hour north of Springfield, SD to the famed "Shark Tooth Hill". We took our excavating equipment and began digging and sifting for shark teeth. South Dakota was at the bottom of an ocean millions of years ago and shark teeth and other sea creature remains can be easily found in this area.

Fishing For the Big One

Christopher and Grandpa caught this Missouri River Drum on one of our first sandbar trips.

South Dakota Sandbar Time

We took advantage of the hot sunny weather and made several trips out on the Missouri River.
