Devil's Tower

[huinare]

Interesting legends about Devil's Tower, WY.  Many involve a bear attempting to capture children.  One includes a great eagle rescuing the children from the pinnacle (sound familiar, Tolkien fans?)

[On a totally unrelated note: I was amused recently to learn that the phrase In vino veritas is attributed to Pliny the Elder (evidently lifted off a Greek phrase attributed to Alcaeus).  I love that guy.]

Oh, I love the pic.

I have heard the legend, but I prefer Close Encounters of the Third Kind instead :-)

Are you spying on me? *flails* We just finished studying the Cheyenne and Lakota in class...

And I love all the myths.
