Devils Tower! This is how the whole trip started. I wanted to see it so bad. Close Encounters is one of my fave movies and I wanted to see it up close. I was not disappointed. It is amazing. We walked the base of it which is just less than 2 miles. No, it’s not a tree. It’s made of igneous rock basically cooled down magma. The column are from the igneous rock separating while cooling. Yes, it is big. It rises 867 ft straight up. No, it’s not hollow. It has a flat green and bushy top on it. Yes, people climb this and yeah, people have died doing it. These are all the questions I had and the answers to them. 🤔 It is a sacred place for many indigenous people. In the month of June there is a voluntary climb closure due to native ceremonies. Please don’t be the asshole who climbs during that time. It was quite a beautiful thing to see all the prayer cloths tied to the trees (no photos were taken of this) and to be in such a sacred place. https://www.nps.gov/deto/learn/historyculture/first-stories.htm tells different stories of how Devils Tower came to be. These are worth the read. Wyoming has some of the most beautiful scenery and is really a cool place to explore nature. It is somewhere I would definitely love to explore again. #devilstower #wyoming #devilstower #noclimbjune (at Devils Tower National Monument) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCKVQYwpwd3/?igshid=1br4co6m4ypu6

Next up the Tetons!! This place was the most magical place I have ever been. Something about kayaking through the water with this amazing view. It beats anything I have ever done. When I came home, I was excitedly talking about the trip and when it came to the Tetons I may have cried a bit. It was unreal. We tried to kayak the next day too but it was pouring rain. ☹️ I am going to go back for sure. #kayakingthetetons #tetons #kayakingadventures (at Jenny Lake Grand Teton National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCF123TjQfi/?igshid=1s1tyuyyim9w8

Next day was Yellowstone. It is really damn big 3500 miles! It’s amazing country and the animals are everywhere and cool to see. don’t mess with the animals. You are at their house so be respectful. They are real animals and don’t want to be in a selfie with you. Pictures: The sizzling water is called Frying Pan springs and well the reason why is pretty apparent. The white bubbles are called paint pots. The acid decomposes the rocks and produces clay and it’s super hot so it bubbles. Grand Prismatic Springs and Excelsior Geyser were the highlights for me. The different colors in Grand Prismatic are created by the different thermophile bacteria. #yellowstonenationalpark #grandprismaticspring #paintpots #bison (at Yellowstone National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCDKlFCjnVD/?igshid=w31ja3qxuae1

Next up was everywhere Montana. It was filled with some awesome views and good beer. Pictured: Berkeley Pit in Butte, Montana. It’s a former copper mine that is so acidic that it kills pretty much everything that touches it. The worry is this pit water will get into the groundwater and pollute it. So they created - were forced to create - a water treatment plant that pumps clean water into a nearby creek. The craziest thing is the method they use to keep fowl from landing in the pit. They use a propane cannon and sirens that go off every few minutes. It truly sounds like you are being shot at. Also in Butte was Our Lady of the Rockies, a 90 ft statue that sits right atop the Continental Divide. The former Catholic in me was wowed. The atheist in me was shocked. She’s huge and she lights up at night. You can’t get closer to her without a tour. It was hard to see what we had done to the Earth at the Pit. We must continue to see the errors of our ways and treat the Earth better. All of us need to learn how to protect our world. Google even tells you the top 10 ways!

I planned a trip 2 years ago to Devils Tower that fell through. So I had been planning this week long camping trip since before Covid*. I decided to go ahead and continue with my plans after pushing it back several months. I will be posting photos from every state we visited. We socially distanced, wore masks and sanitized often when we were around anyone, which wasn’t much. This is Coeur D’Alene where we hiked up a hill and had an amazing views of the lake. It was a little rainy when we started but became a bright, sunny day. Later we hiked Pulaski Tunnel Trail where I was pretty sure I was in a remake of Deliverance. All ended well but what an adventure. #nationalparks #idaho #coeurdalene #getoutdoors (at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB4f7nYjmIu/?igshid=1br5eivembg9z

Henry and I take very long walks at least once a week. We love to see all the flowers in bloom. When Henry was a baby I used hold flower up to his nose so he could smell them. Now he walks up sticks his entire face in there to smell them. Very thankful he appreciates them. #flowerstagram #puppylove #mypuplovesflowers #pnwonderland (at Fremont, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAmrwpbHyVX/?igshid=nwrhouuqzgj1

These pics don’t do this amazing Riot Grrl box from @radcoffee justice. This box had it all: stickers, coffee, patches, pins, sunglasses, t-shirt. I am in love and can’t wait to wear it, pin it and stick it to everything. #riotgrrrl #coffeelover #radcoffee #supportsmallbusiness https://www.instagram.com/p/CAMPdXTHsSF/?igshid=jl02t881w3ow

So after seeing an epic skate ramp that my fantastic friend @nicoleklauss boyfriend made, I asked if he could make a jump box. The box exceed my expectations so much we decided to sand it, paint it and sticker it. This is our excellent jump box! We love it.❤️❤️ #ittakesavillage #jumpbox #homegym #stickers #rollerderby https://www.instagram.com/p/B_bi1cmjc0a/?igshid=1g894o69h7htq

@nicoleklauss you’re the best! I love snail mail especially when it has this awesome sticker inside. So many things I love are on this: skating, mountains and even a dinosaur! Thank you, friend! P.S tell me who makes these fantastic stickers. #allthestickers #skateoutside #dinosaurs #snailmail https://www.instagram.com/p/B_WBBIFnrNC/?igshid=5jjobmcxjgcn

No one is allowed to tell another human to “calm down, relax or use your inside voice “. Woman have been told this for centuries. Men who think women are out of control because they disagree. I refuse to be quiet, I refuse to be less passionate and I refuse to calm down. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_OcVwcnXHp/?igshid=1lhtpe44mnv9e
