It certainly makes a visit to Devil's Tower a bit more ... intense.

Even on a crappy little color TV it managed to totally pull me in.


LOL! Just like me growing up!

Missed StarWars but knew the story from comic books at school, missed Close Encounters, missed Alien, missed but desperately wanted to see Blade Runner... EmpireSB saw in the theatres and was blown away by just how relentless imposing and evil Vader was in it...and the snowspeeders, what a rush! Then parents divorced, and Dad took us to see Raiders of the Lost Ark, and ST2 Wrath of Khan...awesome! Even the divorce was good, as they were horrific together...but that's another story.

Isn't Yellowstone in WY? I think there's more to see there than Devil's Tower, which is just a mountain sitting there.
