I've always wanted to visit that place, not enough to make special trip but after I saw Close Encounters I might've started making monuments out of my mashed potatoes too. Mom would just tell me to stop playing with my food (I was 6 or 7 years old).

I think I understand the geologic phenomena that created it, apparently it was a volcano that cooled rapidly, the lava hardened and over time the mountain that surrounded it was worn away leaving just the harder volcanic monolith that we're all familiar with. It's a very odd thing and it shouldn't be a surprise that it's called the Devils Tower.

Or maybe it's the worlds largest, oldest petrified tree. I don't know, although if that's true who was the lumberjack?

Just beyond the horizon and across the border in Montana is my father-in-law's ranch.

The Devils Tower is harder to see than the Little Missouri Buttes but it is on the horizon in the center.

Devil's Tower aka Mordor?

Haha!

Given the amount of times I've crisscrossed Wyoming in either airplane or on land I'd say it can definitely have its moments weather wise.
