Description

Devils Tower, Wyoming.
Here's wishing my good friend and BPer, Michael Frazier, a happy birthday. This was from our first photo trip in May 2006. We drove from Omaha to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone, and back though Devils Tower and the Black Hills of South Dakota. All in 7 days…whirlwind trip. We've visited many scenic locales and met some great BPers along the way. :-) Mike lives about 10 minutes from me.
