Crazy Horse Mountain.
A lot of carving has been done on the mountain since 1970. If you look closely, you can see his nose and eye.George, Tom, Theo and Lincoln:
Mount Rushmore. Begun in 1927 and completed in 1941. WW II started then for the US and the sculpture had just died. There were several changes that happened during the design phase. First, he wanted to do WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN. Then he was going to add Jefferson. But Jefferson was going to be to the left of Washington and Lincoln was going to be to the right of Washington. And there was going to be a dedication where Lincoln is now. There wasn't enough room to the left of Washington, do Jefferson so he got moved to the right of Washington and Lincoln was moved to where the dedication was going to be. This left a blank and Roosevelt was carved in the opening. You ask why Teddy? Borloug thought he was the all American president and had done positive things for the US, Panama Canal and National Parks.
The allee of states leading up to the viewing area. Dad is pretending to be a moose. (On our whole trip we only saw 1 moose. It was on the highway in Fairbanks. It looked lost and lonely.)
