We took a short drive to Mount Rushmore. A very interesting site. I learned that the reason why it was carved was to attract tourist to the area. Mission accomplished. I also learned on the tour that the first idea was not presidents but rather western heroes. What a strange idea having Buffalo Bill Cody up there instead of Lincoln.
After Leaving Mount Rushmore we headed over to the Crazy Horse sculpture, which is still under construction. This monument to Native Americans is on a scale much large than Rushmore. The guide let us know that all four faces or Rushmore could fit on the face of Crazy Horse. The work on the Crazy Horse Monument is still underway, we could hear the work happening while we were there. The visitors center is pleasant and we ate at the restaurant on site. We both had Buffalo Burgers. One the drive back we stopped in the small town right before the entrance to Mount Rushmore. A fun little area and while there we found Bigfoot as seen in the pictures posted. Well more fun and adventures to come.
