Devils Tower Landscape Ladder
There are some contradictions in this image of the landscape leading up the the Devil’s Tower. Viewed from the northwest, this image has green fields with cut hay bales on top. This last fall of 2019 capture resulted from a very well rained on summer. Wet late in the high borderlands of MT/WY.. Captured in August, it ALL should be brown. The grass was a green as the spring in the sub-irrigated fields overlying the Fox Hill Sandstone aquifer . Usually the sub-surface geology controls the vegetation on the surface.
That 5112 foot tall Devil’s Tower National Monument is standing 1267 feet high above the surrounding ground. This country is big. The high ground looks pretty close but those mounds of phenolytic porphyry are pretty big. The Tower buried by thousands of feet of sediments, stands unsupported. Those rocks surrounding them and supporting the hard rock volcanic neck up thousands of feet higher than it is now.. The soft sediments were removed all by the action of the Little Missouri River plus the Belle Fourche River Drainage. Those two drainages providing the bulk of that work locally. The soft rock is removed while the harder material makes mountains. That’s pretty much the way it works all over the planet.
The Devils tower about 40 from my vantage point on the Pass to Rocky Point Wyoming on Trail Creek Road. I’m standing Campbell County Wyoming.
This is the view that tourists never see as they are all on the other side of those hills. You can see South Dakota from this site on a very clear day…completely across Crook County Wyoming. That is a BIG county 80 miles wide anyway.
Location: Bliss DInosaur Ranch, Wyoming/Montana border (Wyotana).

Mom (in back) and a high school friend soak up some sunshine at Devil's Courthouse in the Shining Rock Wilderness. Just another perfect way to spend a day of your summer vacation.

Memories ... so happy we have photos to remind us of life before, when we were carefree and all we had to worry about was having fun ... and there was no worrying about that. Ah ya!

Dad talks with an an artist in Jackson Square in New Orleans. He bought an oil painting of the bayou which still hangs in my study today... and also had a charcoal sketch done of my mom. She was not too crazy about that idea, but dad insisted.
