Here we all are at the Chief Crazy Horse Welcome Center in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
See the monument in progress after 65 years of construction. We all decided to come back in 20 years to see the changes.
The model in the foreground, is a 1/34th scale model. The mountain carving of Chief Crazy Horse's head in 87 feet high. The first blast took place in 1948.
This picture shows a chalked out plan for the monument construction.
Inside the museum is this painting of the artist, Korczak Ziokowski and his wife. They have 10 children. Ruth and several of the children still carry on the construction of the monument. It will take several generations to finish.
One of his many sculptures, and my favorite, is "Fighting Stallions".
Another place to put on my bucket list.
