September 12, 2006: Black Hills / Badlands, South Dakota.

We went to see Crazy Horse, the work in progress up the road from Mt. Rushmore (we saw that too [yawn]). All 4 of the Presidents' heads could fit within Crazy's head. It's been 60 years and they still have the rest of his head, his arm, and his horse to carve. Oh, and there's gonna be a university and medical center for Native Americans under him when they get done. Uh huh.


The Badlands are somethin else. They get their name from the homesteaders who had to trek across them with their horses and wagons on their way to Montana and their 160 acres.
