Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse

---

Yesterday we went to Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse with friends of ours from Colorado Springs (John & Jill). We all were amazing at what we saw. Mount Rushmore was built by a creative genius. It was stunning and beautiful at the same time. I was so glad I had purchased a 500mm camera lenses before we left for our adventure. Thus the amazing close up pictures of Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln.

Crazy Horse was a very interesting project. Built strictly on private funds it has been a slow process to build. As you can see from the pictures it probably won't be completed in even our grandchildren's lifetime. The purpose of the project is a worthy one. Google Crazy Horse to get the details.

The scenery in the park around Mount Rushmore was beautiful which would go from rolling hills to mountain pines. We had hoped we would see some wildlife, but the only thing we saw was a couple of turkeys.

Tomorrow it's off to the Badlands...sadly without John and Jill. Sorry you had to head home early. We miss you and hope all goes well.
