On the train490 viewsHere's a picture of the train on the way from Hill City to Keystone. On this stretch, the engine was actually "backwards" with the "rear" of the engine at the front of the train. The engines have been modified to burn oil rather than coal or wood.

Needles Highway490 viewsAnother "self timer" shot. The two of us look goofier, but Bailey's "tilted head" pose makes it worth including.

Minuteman Missile443 viewsPerhaps most interesting, however (perhaps due to growing up at the tail-end of the Cold War, with Ronnie Regan at the helm) was this Minuteman missile. These missiles were placed in silos all over North and South Dakota, and were a large part of our "Balance of Terror" defense. It's good to see so many of them decommissioned now. Supposedly they're also turning two old silos near the Badlands into a National Park.

Deer at the Tower439 viewsAs were were walking the trail around Devils Tower, we ran into a couple of deer just yards from where we were standing. The pictures below show them, amongst the many boulders surrounding the tower.
