We visited there on a family trip and took an unplanned horseback riding excursion at an area ranch. We had an amazing time.

When we visited there a couple years ago, there were several climbers scaling the side of Devils Tower.

MIB42, There have been many movies, but I too think it is one my best movies too, and what can be said of Dreyfuss, I liked him in American Graffiti also. In the article it mentions sailors, I don’t recall sailors and I have watched many times.

It is a long hike around the base but very worth it. One of The Native American Oral history tales about Devil's Tower is: Before the Kiowa came south they were camped on a stream in the far north where there were a great many bears, many of them. One day, seven little girls were playing at a distance from the village and were chased by some bears. The girls ran towards the village and the bears were just about to catch them when the girls jumped on a low rock, about 3 feet high. One of the girls prayed to the rock, "Rock take pity on us, rock save us!" The rock heard them and began to grow upwards, pushing the girls higher and higher. When the bears jumped to reach the girls, they scratched the rock, broke their claws, and fell on the ground. The rock rose higher and higher, the bears still jumped at the girls until they were pushed up into the sky, where they now are, seven little stars in a group (The Pleiades). In the winter, in the middle of the night, the seven stars are right over this high rock. When the People came to look, they found the bears claws, turned to stone, all around the base.

No, the 5 tones did not represent the geographical coordinates. Those were transmitted separately.

I really liked this movie but from reading their description, it sounds like the plot of a terrible movie 🤣
