red light of stone and sun
breaking the prow of the hills—
rust as old as time
My last major stop of this five week road trip out West and back. I started this trip at the Tower, now I end it here as well, looping back towards home.

Devil's Tower? Can't God take responsibility once in awhile?
Well, you know how it is. The Xian missionaries meet the local Indian tribes, who tell them about their spirit places, where they connect with the Great Spirit. Spirit Tower, Spirit Lake, etc. And so the Xian missionaries when they make the maps label them as Devil's Tower, Devil's Lake . . . . etc.
The problem is that people don't take responsibility, regardless of whatever God does or doesn't do.
Nice blog!

Thanks!
Easy to see how it got its name> What a great place!
Thanks, Dave.
There's a water station near the foot of the tower, at the ranger station. It's there for the hikers and stands near the foot of the trails. It's a deep well that taps into the local groundwater, and it's got some of the sweetest cold water I've ever tasted.
