I will let everyone know if my drawings change.
Well, you will need less green and more brown............
Raise your hand if you’ve ever gone to Devil’s Tower ... to look at the trees.
“I wonder if you can get to the top................”
Was at the park a few years ago and they were climbing it at that time. Climbers come there from all over the world. And they look tiny aginst the walls. The Tower has two major climbing closures throughout the year in early April to protect nesting falcons and a voluntary closure in June to respect American Indian cultural values associated with the Tower site.

Oh, now, the tower is trashed. Golf ball hail will grind phonolite porphyry into sand in no time. 😊
Actually, no, phonolite porphyry, the material Devil’s tower is made of, is super strong, nothing will do damage to it in human time scale. It stands there 50 million years, it will a lot longer.
The tower is popular among rock climbers, but not accessible to normal people. You need to be pretty good and have good equipment, to get to the top.
It was like that before, it will stay like this for long time.

Most igneous rocks are pretty robust. Especially intrusives like granite.
I thought trees would grow back.
They will in a few decades...............
The greys got tired of hearing that stupid tune over and over, so carpet bombed the area with hail.
Where in blue blazes did you learn to pluralize common words by adding an apostrophe!?
The important take-away is that the faces of the four presidents carved into the side of the mountain are still intact, right?

“Gonna build a tower, in your living room...”
From a claymation spoof of Close Encounters....Rural post office boxes singing that song....
“Never look the same!”
That is what was said years ago when fires ravaged Yellowstone and Mesa Verde National Parks.
The Yellowstone geysers still spew, and the Mesa Verde ruins are still there.
Now if fire would ravage the Stonewall National Monument in NYC who would really care? Would anyone miss it?
So where did you want it to be? Wyoming isn’t good enough.
