once again its time to go on vacation
JW_Halverson:
I have to echo the post about the Medicine Wheel outside of Lovell, Wyoming. I went there back when I lived in Lovell about 200 years ago, back when you could walk thru the medicine wheel. Nowadays it is fenced off and you have to stay on the path, no dogs, no chewing gum, etc. The chainlink fence around the medicine wheel is full of plastic and other stuff people have left for whatever reason.
The Shoshone held the place with some regard, but had no flipping idea what it meant or who put it there, they said it was there before time came into the land. 17 spokes on the wheel and from what I have gathered, the number 17 never really had much religous value to Native American cultures. Yeah, a place of real mystery and a lot of rather scenic views....except they do not allow you to walk over to the edge of the cliff to take in the view anymore. Bummer, used to watch the sun come up early in the spring mornings, way back when.
Seriously, call me if you care coming thru the Black Hills.
