Today we left the campsite early AM and drove through the Custer State Park (check the blogs Custer State Park Scenic and Custer State Park Wildlife) and visited Crazy Horse Memorial. What a great day, great scenery, lots of wildlife and the amazing Crazy Horse Memorial. Yvonne and I visited this area back in 2004 and were impressed at that time with this area of South Dakota. The marble statute of Crazy Horse on his horse is what the mountain will look like once completed. We noticed little change in 6 years and it won't be completed in our lifetime. Its a slow process and receives not Federal or State funds to support the project. The family of the original sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski are continuing his efforts which he stated in 1948 at the request of the Native American Indian tribes of the Black Hills.
