Quotes of the Day:

"Wow, a climber on the Devil's Tower! Wait...where did he go? He must have fallen off!" - sightseeing at the Devil's Tower

 "He could have WARNED us!!" - Mr. Mark after an abrupt stop on a windy corner on the mountain's edge

"Deer on the right, antelope on the left!" - random shouts from many youth during the bus ride

"The bus will be fixed soon-IF they find the right part" - a realization after being stuck at a rest stop due to "technical difficulties"

Favorite Memories
  • Driving up windy roads into the mountain.
  • Being able to see a gorgeous waterfall nestled in the top of the mountain.
  • Being stuck at a rest stop for hours because of the bus' "technical difficulty." 
  • "Leave me alone.  I'm lookin' for deer!" - bus driver, Jeff Sunday

Journal Entry:

Dear Diary,
   We started our day off by driving a good amount to get to the Devil's Tower. The towering monument surprised us with its incredible heights and sacred significance. After the Devil's Tower we drove for a while to a rest stop where we were stranded for awhile.  This ended up being quite an enjoyable experience where we bonded over quarter challenges, card games, and more.  We finally headed off for the mountains after the bus was fixed.  There we drove up the mountains, enduring many pin curves, elevated heights, and finally came upon a breathtaking waterfall named "Shell Falls."  After the very windy way back down the mountain we stopped for dinner then headed for the motel.  Talk to you later.
