oh man was this a long day...we started just outside of Chicago and we ended the day/next very early morning in Livingston, MT.... we drove 16ish hours with 3 stops, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse & Wall Drug, gained an hour on our drive and still made it to our appointment in Livingston the next day for the bus on the 20th at 9am :) GO US
Mt. Rushmore
Who would of thought that face on a Mountain could impress you so much. It was a sight to see for sure, the heads looked perfect, like they just finished with them....
Crazy Horse - its a must do, just make sure you go to Mt. Rushmore first.... after looking at Mt. Rushmore and then going to Crazy Horse, which isn't even a tenth done, the difference is amazing. The size difference is huge... the head alone of Crazy horse can fit all 4 heads of Mt. Rushmore... Crazy... a worker their said they hope to have just the head of the Horse done in about 10years, but no one really knows when it will be done... this project was started in the 40's and its only this far... its a must see if your in the area...
we did stop by a little place called Wall Drug, Sd ... it was started by a pharmacist and later turned out to be a free amusement stop for people.... it was a nice little break for us and a well need leg stretch...
we went and saw crazy horse when we went for westerns when i was a sophomore and it looks like nothing has been done since its so crazy. that rock is huge and the work must be so tedious! im glad you guys saw that, i was going to tell you guys that you should go there too! hope the rest of your trip has gone well. miss ya!
