\"Close<\/a>

Close Encounters<\/p><\/div>\n

Ok, I obviously borrowed the image. \u00a0There wasn’t a space ship hoving over Devil’s Tower or a military installation there. \u00a0 The movie was made in 1977 and I do remember several parts of the movie but not its\u00a0entirety. \u00a0We got to hear a little speech when we checked into the KOA that is the closest commercial campground to the park. \u00a0We learned how Richard Dreyfus stayed there while filming the movie.<\/p>\n

You can stay closer but you will need to forego hookups. \u00a0I enjoy water and electric hookups so the National Parks are not for us. \u00a0One of the reasons I chose to stay here (other than its cool and only 2.5 hours from our next campground near Mt. Rushmore) is that they have a nightly showing of the movie. \u00a0I figured the kids might enjoy seeing it after we saw the monument. \u00a0Unfortunately, rain seems to follow us recently and it was storming at 7 when they were to be showing it. \u00a0I will have to get Pat to pick it up so the boys can see it when we get home.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Tower<\/p><\/div>\n

Brian and Sean both loved the playground at this location. \u00a0Brian is also starting to chat more with other kids that are playing. \u00a0Brian has been very sweet and making sure that Sean is still a part of playing with the other kids. \u00a0The only negative with this location was the showers down in the tent area need another hook (2 would be even better) and for the built in bench to be a bit deeper.<\/p>\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n
