We left Colorado Springs
on Tuesday, June 13th and headed north up I-25 through Denver. We
stopped for lunch at Johnson’s Corner, where we had a good place to park at the
truck stop. Although Johnson’s Corner is known for their homemade “world famous
cinnamon rolls”, but I enjoyed a slice of millionaire’s pie with my grilled
chicken sandwich.
We drove north of
Cheyenne and overnighted in Glendo, Wyoming at the Glendo Lakeside RV Park. It
was very windy and we hunkered down for the night.
On Wednesday we headed towards
northeast Wyoming and arrived at Devil’s Tower around 3:30PM for a two night
stay at the KOA right outside the gate of Devil’s Tower National Monument. We had a nice campsite with a great view of the tower. It
was Julie’s first time to see Devil’s Tower and we learned it was our country’s
first National Monument.
We watched the nightly
showing of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” outdoor here at the KOA last night.
We had forgotten that the movie came out in 1977 and this year is the 40th
anniversary of the Steven Spielberg film. We saw an "alien" from the movie in a gift shop today.
Today we went to the
Visitor’s Center and then walked the 1.5 mile trail around Devil’s Tower. We had
great weather, sunny skies and temps in the mid-70s.
