Devils Tower

August 10
The story goes that seven sisters were playing with their brother and he turned into a bear and started to chase them. They came to a tree stump which told them to climb aboard and it rose into the air with them on it. The bear couldn’t get them but his claws marked the bark all the way round. The sisters were taken up into the sky and they became stars. It’s America’s first National Monument. We had a wonderful walk round the base of it. It’s called hiking a trail here, which sounds much more impressive.
