On the way from North Dakota to the reunion we stopped at the Crazy Horse Memorial. I love to see how this place changes each time we go here. Mount Rushmore is amazing, but it's also the same each time. Crazy Horse is monumental, like 7 Wonders of the World type of a place. And it changes because it's not done yet. At first glance it didn't look like much had been done in the past two years. But I'm glad that in the Museum they have pictures from every year and the work that's been done. They've excavated many tons of rock from the back side of the sculpture that you can't see from the museum, and a lot from where the horse's neck will be. I just can't even imagine how incredible this will be when it is done. I don't mind paying the fee to enter or buying things in their shop either, because they accept no government funds. It's all investment, donations, and revenue.
Gwyn was bummed to have to ride in a wheelchair while we were at Crazy Horse. I helped her hobble in, but she really couldn't put any weight on her ankle at all. So we go her the chair and wheeled her around. We got to see the Korczack movie and the story of how the memorial was conceived and started. It's an amazing story.
