Breakfast at the hotel. We made waffles this morning. Then we headed out. We did Mount Rushmore first. We had been there in 1994. A LOT has changed in the area since then. But the Presidents still look great!
We were going to have some ice cream even though it was only a little after 8:00 a.m. Who can pass up Memorial Ice Cream! But the shop wasn't open yet. Did you know that President Thomas Jefferson created the first ice cream recipe?
Then we were off to the Chief Crazy Horse monument. We were there in 1994, too. Even though work has continued on the actual monument, it isn't really evident. The area has changed a LOT though and now has a museum and other exhibits. And a college and medical school for Native Americans is being developed. The original family members of the sculptor are continuing the work.
Here is the planned image.
And here is how he looks right now.
Life is good. The scenery is amazing. Enjoy the journey. Stay safe and God Bless America!
