Casper & Devils Tower, Wyoming! 🏔️✨

We kicked things off in Casper, spending three nights at the KOA and exploring hidden gems like Garden Creek Falls, where I met a guy panning for gold (and yes, I wanted to try it too!). 🏞️💰

A scenic drive up Casper Mountain led us to big views and the Hogadon Basin Ski Area—where you park at the top and ski down! 🎿

Next up: Devils Tower—aka that wild-looking rock from Close Encounters. 👽 After a long crawl behind a massive oversized load (7 escort vehicles!), the tower rose in the distance like a sci-fi movie set.

We stayed at the KOA nearby (pool, mini golf, birthday surprises 🎉), and had dinner with amazing views at 77 Steakhouse & Saloon—a spot so cool it has its own airstrip. ✈️🥩

The tower brought aliens (in the gift shop 😂), and prairie dogs galore. We ended the day watching Close Encounters at the foot of the real thing. Pure magic.
