Yesterday, we did the monuments: Crazy Horse and Mount Rushmore. Crazy Horse was a celebration of Native American culture. They have grand plans (the monument much bigger than Mt. Rushmore, Native American university and Medical center and much more), but I really wonder if they will ever accomplish what they what they plan. It is all funded by private donations, not public funds.
After that, we headed over to Mt. Rushmore. It was beautiful, even though a hail storm came through, forcing us to spend most of our time in the visitors center. We went back later in the evening for the lighting ceremony. Very patriotic and very impressive. I'd show a picture, but our camera just isn't that good.
Today is our last day here in the Black Hills. This morning we are headed back to Rushmore to see it in the clear morning light and to hike around it.
