    It’s been over ten years since I’ve been to the Mt. Rushmore area. I was very young, so I wasn’t able to fully appreciate what I was seeing. I plan on going back someday. I’m anxious to see what kind of progress they’ve made on Crazy Horse since the last time I seen it.

    I am actually going to Mt Rushmore here in the near future. We have family that lives in the Dakotas, so we’re planning a whole vacation around it. This gives me a few more ideas for my trip.

    Its been many years since I have seen Mt. Rushmore or the Crazy Horse Memorial. Both I think are worth a visit, and the Black Hills area around there does have a lot to do. I would like to go back soon.
