Native nations consider this site sacred, and tie prayer cloths to trees along the trail surrounding the tower. Visitors are asked not to touch or photograph those, and I apologize if you see any in this picture. I tried my best to avoid photographing them.
Devils Tower got its name in 1875 by a white explorer. Native nations call the site Bear's Lodge or Bear's House and do not like the name Devils Tower. Several attempts to formally change the name to Bear Lodge have been met with opposition in Congress.
We've been to Wyoming many times over the years, but this was our first trip to Devils Tower.

Devil's Canyon Brewing Company - Belmont, California USA
Bière Brut (ABV 6%)
[Suggested Glassware: Flute]
Rating: 3.1/5.0
Aroma: 6/10
Appearance: 3/5
Taste: 6/10
Palate: 3/5
Overall: 13/20
The pour was a sparkling clear pale yellow with a small (less than 1 finger) white fizzy head that diminished in a matter of seconds, and had virtually no lacing at all.
The aroma was of a light grain malt, mild grassy hops and a musty horse blanket yeast with notes of citrus (lemon) and green apple.
The taste was a tad sweet and lightly grainy with a good fruity presence early on, becoming a bit yeasty and very lightly bitter with a hint of citrus and a funky fruity ending. The flavor lasted a very short time proceeding the swallow, with a funky fruity grain aftertaste lingering on for a short while longer.
Mouthfeel was extremely light in body and watery in texture with a strong fizzy champagne like carbonation.
Overall I found this to be a very interesting style of beer. It is a lot like a fizzy light ale, but not, with a nice fruity undertone. I am not a big fan of Champagne, so this is a perfect substitute to have on hand for those holiday toasts...

Devil Duck at it again with his partner Pirate Duck - looks like they got her under their spell - she's growing horns too!

The Devils Marble Yard is the bald place on the left side of the mountains and consist of truck size bolders and rocks. It is a really large area. Its located in the James River Face Wilderness through which the Appalchian Trail runs.
I that know this is not a great shot. I just want you to have something to give some scale to this monster of a caterpillar.
This is Devil's Churn in far-western Oregon. The site is usually incorrectly spelled "Devils Churn". The bedrock in the area is the Yachats Basalt, a Late Eocene unit consisting of basaltic lava flows and agglomerates, plus some andesite and trachyandesite. Igneous dikes are also present - most are basalt, plus minor andesite and rhyodacite. The basalt lava flows are often porphyritic, with labradorite plagioclase feldspar phenocrysts. Glomeroporphyritic varieties are present, with clusters of blade-shaped plagioclase phenocrysts.
The linear valley at Devil's Churn is a fault zone that has been erosively enlarged by wave action from the Pacific Ocean. Landward, the chasm ends at a sea cave, which suggests that the entire feature was formerly a sea cave, but most of the roof has collapsed.

From park signage:
The Power of Devils Churn
Pulverizing and pounding.
Crashing and smashing.
Endlessly, relentlessly, the Pacific Ocean careens into Devils Churn, until the crescendo of waves explodes in a riot of white froth . . . and then escapes back to the sea.
Showtime!
Devils Churn puts on its most dramatic shows during high tides and storms.
Devils Churn began as a small fracture - a weak area in the ancient volcanic rock.
Thunderous waves have gnawed at the rock for eons, eroding it away grain by grain, enlarging the crack into a chasm.
As you approach, you'll feel the power of the churn like thunder in your bones, and anticipate each collision of wave and rock like bursting fireworks!
The sea never finishes its work . . .
All along the coast, you'll see chasms-in-the-making. Some are only tiny fissures today - reminders of the Devils Churn's modest beginning.
If you venture closer, watch your footing on slippery rocks, and never turn your back on the ocean!
