Wyoming & South Dakota continued...

My fellow people of these United States of America,

Here are some more photos from our little trip out west.


I don't remember if this was Wyoming or South Dakota, but you have to admire a place that has a bank called "bank." The skull on the building is just a nice little added western personal touch. With the way interest rates are and all that jazz with mortgage problems, I'm surprised more banks don't have skulls on them. It would be more honest.

Anyhoo, moving on. Next stop is the unfinished Crazy Horse sculpture in the Black Hills of South Dakota.


You may recall a man named Crazy Horse from your American History classes. I won't get into the whole story but it ends with this man dead from a bayonet to the back.

Above is the sculptor's model of what is to come on the mountain.


Model and actual mountain carving side by side. The model scale is 34:1.

Above is the view from inside the museum.

I was just working on my silhouetting skills.
That little hole in the rock you see is 9 stories high.

We like to pose in front of things.

Stay tuned, there is more to come.
