Here we are, Mt. Rushmore, our furthest destination! That's us, John and Shannon
below George, Thomas, Teddy and Abe, we blend right in don't we. Our journey is only half over....be home the first of August to sleep in our own bed!
The sculptor Borglum died prior to finishing, his son finished the faces but the lower half remains incomplete as you can see on the model below. The Park Service decided that because of funds, WWII and from an artistic viewpoint to leave them as we see them today.
Of course we had to stop by and see the progress on Crazy Horse. The face is done and they
hope to have the horse done in seven years!
Some very tight tunnels around Mt Rushmore.
John is measuring....just in case. We made it....
barely!

Good call on the measurement!! We wouldn't want another Las Vegas airport incident if you know what I mean!! Everywhere you guys have went has looked so so beautiful. What an adventure!! I hope you took a picture of the face of Mt. Rushmore, you may have put one on the website but it just doesn't show up. Can't wait to see you in 3 weeks!!
ReplyDeleteYeah- it is a good thing you have lots of practice measuring things! I'd hate for you to lose the side mirrors.
