Today we went to the Crazy Horse Memorial located just outside Custer, SD. It was commissioned by the Lakota Elders to teach the Whiteman that the Redman has great heroes as well. The sculptor was Korczak Ziolkowski and he worked on it from 1947 until his death in 1982. It is now being carried on by 7 of his 10 children. I can not tell you how amazing it was. Just the amount of talent to get the rock to blow off the mountain where you want it. I don’t know if it will ever be finished in my life time, but if so I WILL BE BACK!!

Then we swung on down to BedRock City with Fred and Barney. We got to see their houses and even rode in the Flintmobile!! The kids enjoyed it. The Bedrock Drive-in even sold Brontosaurs Burgers.
We finished off our day at Custer State Park taking the Wildlife Loop. We came around the corner and ran into three Bison Bulls just hanging out. There was tons of wildlife from Antelope, Prairie Dogs, Wild Burros, and the impressive Bison.
Tomorrow we are heading to Deadwood, Leeds, and Sturgis!! Hill City is a great place because it is in the middle of everything
