100 Years on the Lincoln Highway
Before the Interstate Highway System, before famed Route 66, before highways were even numbered, there was one road that started it all, one road that changed America forever: The Lincoln Highway. “100 Years on the Lincoln Highway” is the story of the first coast to coast automobile road in the United States and its impact on Wyoming.
The Fort Laramie National Historic Site and 150th Anniversary of the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie
Originally established as a private fur trading fort in 1834, Fort Laramie evolved into the largest and best known military post on the Northern Plains before its abandonment in 1890. This “grand old post” witnessed the entire sweeping saga of America’s western expansion and Indian resistance to encroachment on their territories. Also, the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie will be remembered in the summer of 2018 at Fort Laramie.

Devils Tower National Monument - Wyoming
Come along as we explore Devils Tower and share information about how it got its name and how it was formed.
Today we leave our campsite in the Black Hills National Forest and head to Wyoming.
Devils Tower height: 1,267' (386 meters)
Devils Tower elevation: 5,112' (1,559 meters)
The Tower is made of molten rock forced upwards from deep within the earth. Geological estimates place the age of Devils Tower at over 50 million years, though it is thought that erosion uncovered the rock formation only 1 or 2 million years ago.
In 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt invoked the Antiquities Act, designating Devils Tower our nation's first national monument.
Devils Tower is sacred to many Northern Plains Native American tribes and indigenous people. Archeological discoveries show that native people lived here 10,000 years ago.
The name Devils Tower is likely a mistranslation of what the Natives call it. In the Lakota language the word for evil spirit is wakansica. The word for black bear is wahanksica and the natives actually refer to the peak as Bear Lodge or Bears Tipi.

Woman's Family Trip to Mount Rushmore Takes Illegal Turn
A Nebraska woman has been arrested on Friday after scaling Mount Rushmore nearly to the top.
Alexandria Incontro of Omaha bypassed orange warning signs and hopped a railing, says Newser.
She then began scaling the granite mountain between George Washington and Thomas Jefferson's faces.
She made it to within 15 feet of the top as a park ranger called for her to come down.
Incontro climbed the monument barefoot, without a rope, and illegally.
She was arrested and found to have minor cuts on her feet and limbs.
She pleaded guilty to climbing and was ordered to pay a $1,000 fine and $30 fee. Three other charges were dropped.
