I'm sick in bed with cold/flu and taking the opportunity to finally play Firewatch, which I've been meaning to do for years. of course I love it (though I wish the PC wasn't an Everydude), but I also kind of wish it was just a hiking simulator with no deep emotional plot, haha. ...God, I want to go backpacking this summer.

“He found himself wondering at times, especially in the autumn, about the wild lands, and strange visions of mountains that he had never seen came into his dreams.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

Devils Tower, known to the Lakota as Mato Tipila meaning "Bear Lodge" which is a volcanic neck that rises 1,267 ft from the Black Hills in NE Wyoming. Therefore, on September 24, 1906 it was bestowed by Teddy Roosevelt as the first national monument in the U.S. The name was given by Col. Richard Irving Dodge who led an expedition in 1875 through Wyoming. Furthermore, his interpreter butchered the translation, calling it 'Bad God's Tower', eventually being shortened to Devils Tower.
There are two great legends regarding the tower from the Lakota and the Kiowa, involve a similar narrative. In the Lakota legend, six girls were out picking flowers when they were attacked and chased by bears. The Great Spirit felt bad for them, and raised the ground beneath their feet. The bears chased them and attempted to climb the newly formed tower but the bears fell off and created the claw mark on the sides of the monolith.
The Kiowa legend follows the same storyline; for the except, that there was 7 Kiowa girls and when the ground rose beneath them to the heavens. The girls where turned to the constellation Pleiades. Meanwhile, the bears only managed to leave their claw marks.

Wandering Into The Winds!
Making way out of the desert, change in landscape begins to quickly take shape. A change that presents itself through magnificent uplift. Predominately granite, this place once home to many miles of glaciers has shaped this valley nicely for being billions of years old. It’s truly such a spectacular place that nobody really knows about,
(the rangers try to keep it that way).
It was refreshing to be welcomed around copious amounts of water after being faced with such scarcity. It’s a shame early summer months is a recipe for mosquito hell here. Many points throughout this section I didn’t even bother to stop in fear of being swarmed and eaten alive. No amount of Natrapel could combat something like that. I spent some time alone on alternate routes that split off the CDT, some well worth the deveation. With blow downs that make up the first half of The Cirque, I wonder if I’ve made a judgment error and contemplate finding another way back to red line. As I break through the sudden halt in overgrowth, I’m greeted by these magnificent formations. Unlike Colorado, these mountains felt in a way much bigger and more vast. With my trash bag pants and my bug net synched, these quickly become the most essential items of that 100 mile stretch. Much of thru hiking is understanding the reality of not having luxury over entering these ranges during the most ideal of times. You’re at the mercy of short seasonal windows that make it possible to succeed in a long distance hike. I planned this section with intent on taking my time along with some on trail zeros but I simply couldn’t submit myself to such torture from the blood suckers. I feel as though in a way I misrepresent the weighted value of how this range truly felt. I was grateful to have captured something, notably this White Crowned Sparrow perched in curiosity, I dare no further in identifying, I just hope I got it’s good side. The Bridget-Teton National Forest quickly became my favorited section of trail, and for good reason. In the future I will come back with the ability to enhance my experience, spending as much time as I possibly can in a truly extraordinary section.
