Mt. Rushmore/Crazy Horse

 

Today we started on Charlie’s remembrance visits…we stopped at Ellsworth Air Force Base where he was stationed back in the 50s.  We toured the Museum and took a bus tour of the base.  Needless to say, he didn’t recognize anything!!!

After checking in to our B&B, it was off to Mt. Rushmore.  It was a cloudy day and the temperature was in the 50s so that probably kept the crowds down.  I was really impressed……

Our final stop of the day was at the Crazy Horse Memorial.  This has been a “work in progress” for over 50 years!!!!  I’m not sure I understand the whole story.  I have a sneaky suspicion that someone is making a lot of money from this project.

That’s it for today…..tomorrow is supposed to be rainy so don’t know what we will do.
