[Spridgets] Devils Tower - Close Encounters Drive In?

[charles christ]

wall drug is to s.d. is what south of the border is to a traveler going up or
down the i-95 corridor in the east coast.   a must stop and see and wonder
...who buys all this stuff?   you forgot wall drug offers "free water"! LOL!  
reccomend the resturaunt catty corner across the street for a great
breakfast.   

the badlands?    sign me up for that again and again!   it's a
"must see" if you 
are anywhere near at all!    been there and done that
and...would go again if i 
was given the chance!

Hey Rick,

I was the one that told you about that.  Just outside
the gates of Devils
Tower National Monument is the Devils Tower KOA.  Every
night at dusk they
show the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind on the
back wall of the
campground office.  You just pull up your camp chair, crack
open your
favorite beverage and watch the movie in the shadow of the tower. 
It's kind
of an eerie feeling to be watching the movie and to look over your
right
shoulder and see the tower looming up over you.  While I recommend a
stop
there to anyone driving through Northeastern Wyoming it would add an
extra
hour of driving to you planned stop in Gillett for your second night
out.  

Of course if you did that it would shorten you next day so you could
add the
driving loop through Badlands National Park.  Talk about your photo op
location.  Badlands National park is another place I would recommend to
anyone
traveling through South Dakota on I-90.  The turn off for the Park is
at Wall
SD so you might as well stop by Wall Drugs and be a tourist.  You
can't miss
it; they have signs along I-90 for Hundreds of miles.

We will be
driving from the west coast along I-90 to get out to the Midget
50th next
month.
Someone, I think from here, told me once about the drive in movie
theater at
Devils Tower that shows Close Encounters during the summer.
If
everything works out I'd like to go there and see it.
Does anyone know about
this?

Oh yes, and if anyone else knows of other cool points of interest along
that
route please speak up!
