If It's Monday, It Must Be Crazy Horse

We started out our day today at the Crazy Horse Memorial. It is still under construction, but was very interesting. We watched a film about it at the Visitor's Center. It really is an amazing story and the monument will be much larger than Mt. Rushmore and should be astounding when it is completed. The statue is hard to see in this photo, but this is as close as we could get, and the iPhone doesn't zoom. You can see the completed face over my left shoulder.

I, by the way, am still sick as a dog. It is just a bad cold, but it sucks! I think Shane has had enough of my snorting and nose blowing. I can't blame him. It gets old.

Mt. Rushmore -- The Main Attraction

We finally got to see Mt. Rushmore today. The weather has been so so,
but it couldn't have been better today. The rain is supposed to return
tomorrow. Waaaa!
Amazingly, we ran into the same couple from California at Mt. Rushmore
that took our picture at Devil's Tower.  Kristen has become our
official trip photographer. As you can see, she does a great job.
All the pictures I'm posting while we're in South Dakota have been
taken and posted with the iPhone. I plan on posting more later after
I can download them from my good camera. Hope that gives you
something to live for.

Where the Deer and the Antelope Play

We got some up-close views of lots of deer and antelope, but the
buffalo were amazing to see. We drove down to Custer State Park and
drove on the Wildlife Loop Road.
