We spent a night at a truck stop with the big boys. I feel very save surrounded by these rigs.

We did some hiking in the badlands and had to climb this ladder.

Mount Rushmore













This is what Crazy Horse will look like when finished.
Bruce and I feel this is a very ambitious project
The sculptor died in 1982 ans 7 of his 10 children and his wife are completing it.
It is being sculpted in Black Hills South Dakota.
Sculptor Korczak Zionlkowski was asked to sculpt it by Lakota Chief Henry Standing Bear.
"My fellow chiefs and I would like the white man to know the red man has great heroes, too."

  1. Very ambitious- this isn't much further along from when Jim, Joey and I saw it back in 1987. I am sure alot has been done, but it will take muuuuuuuuuuuuch longer..... interesting tho..

    Have a great trip ! love the pix !

  3. hey, way cool!!
    I'll bet the ground doesn't move right yet, and parked in a truck stop is not the same as in a quiet anchorage.
    Keep having fun, and see you on the highways!
