Rodeo at Crazy Horse - 6/14

What a busy day.  After Rushmore, we drove over to the Crazy Horse Memorial, about 20 mins away.  We got there just in time to see the rodeo - it was smallish and great fun to watch.  B was captivated.  She has caught horse fever and talks about horses nonstop.  

The memorial is HUGE.  The 4 Rushmore heads could fit onto the Crazy Horse head.  It was started in 1940 (moved slowly due to lack of funds).  The original sculptor died in 1980s and 7 of his 10 children (and some of the 26 grandchildren) work on the project today led by the 82 year old mom.  We took the bus tour to the back of the sculpture - they just started working back there (blowing off bits of mountain) and the final project will be in the round.  It won't be completed in my lifetime, maybe B's grandkids will see the final product.  

I am having trouble uploading pics today - maybe later.  B woke up this morning saying she didn't want to leave this place.  We have all been pleasantly surprised by KOA.  We are probably going to change our plans for the last few days - move to another town in CO or close with a good KOA.  B will miss the bouncy pillow!
