After our final "Susan" breakfast, we left Gillette for Spearfish, South Dakota. Our plans included a visit to Devil's Tower (below) before we left Wyoming, and it was kinda on the way so off we went! The drive to Devil's took about an hour, and as we approached, the views got better and better. There are geologic reasons for the vertical markings on the tower, but tha Native Americans of the area have myths about how the Tower came to be. After parking, we hiked around the tower then decided to have ice cream for lunch!
The landscape changed from the flatness of Wyoming to the rolling hills of South Dakota as we made our way to the town of Spearfish. We arrived at the home of Tricia's brother Chris and his fiancée, Stephanie. Steph's daughter Tori was there with her infant daughter Sophia. Chris treated Izzy, Tricia and me to rides in a side-by-side ATV in the wooded areas near their home. After some "four wheeling," it was time for Chris to make his "famous" fish tacos. I'm not allowed to divulge his secret recipe, but this was some real good stuff! Chris and Izzy managed to turn the end of dinner into a small-scale food fight 😄, and we had some marshmallow wars around backyard fire pit while making s'mores after dinner!
