Crazy Horse

We found this even more spectacular than Rushmore. One family has been building it with only donations and have refused government money as the government would like control and would likely screw it up. The size is mind boggling. It will be the largest sculpture in the world and Mt. Rushmore is about the size of Crazy Horses face.

Great museum here. This saddle was just being donated by natives as we arrived.

Mount Rushmore

All you can say is impressive !! One of the most photographed spots on earth and deservedly so. An incredible work of art.

The Approach

The Getaway

Black Hills

Very scenic area with lots of  Old West lore. Wild Bill Hickock was murdered & buried in Deadwood and Calamity Jane buried next to him. The town is being restored to an old west tradition.

The Kid was born in the town of Sundance, not far from here.

It was closed !!

Graves of Wild Bill and Calamity Mary---- yikes, Jane

Devil's Tower

We had a close encounter of a 4th kind at Devil's Tower..

A beaut of a butt at a butte

Heading to South Dakota..

Teton to Worland

Now just heading east across Wyoming. Great weather & scenery.

Tardis needs a rest

Last resident of "Hole in the Wall". Still looking for Redford...

Town of Thermopolis

Teton National Park

It is now getting late & we discover that Yellowstone N.P. is still closed for the season. Just entered the park when we saw a couple of moose, a small herd of buffalo and a large herd of elk. Time to take some pix & find a place to stay.

Entrance to Park Museum

Grand Teton in the evening

Next morning. Not a bad sight to wake up to !

Teton Area

It was getting dark so we were looking for a place to crash. Most places aren't open till May and this is April 10.
Nice sign with antlers in Afton....

But Jackson Hole wouldn't be outdone !!
