She looked around to see where he came from and spotted his grandmother parked on the side of the road. When he reached her, the boy asked Cook to autograph his ballooning program. As Cook signed the little boy's program, she was reminded of one of many reasons she loves ballooning and how “unbelievably welcoming” the western Nebraska community has been to her and her fellow pilots.

Wyobraska Expedition Photographer Buck Lovell Explores Bear Butte near Sturgis, South Dakota

Bear Butte is a geological laccolith feature located near Sturgis, South Dakota, United States, that was established as a State Park in 1961. Historically, Bear Butte has meant much too many people, both indigenous and immigrant. According to anthropologists, the butte, that’s not a butte, has been a sacred site to Native Americans for more than 10,000 years. During the 1800’s the Kiowa, then Cheyenne, and most recently Oglala Sioux Tribe occupied the area surrounding or adjacent to this geographical feature.
