Second day off this week and we are going to stay close to the campground today since we have to do some things like laundry lol
First thing on the list today is the Crazy Horse Memorial fee to get in $11.00 per person we were free again thanks to our VIP card All the money from entrance fee and items purchased from the gift shop are what funds this project they will not take government money or and charitable donations. https://crazyhorsememorial.org/ this is a very cool place it is to SOO MUCH BIGGER then Mount Rushmore even tho it is not complete yet you can see models and the face of crazy horse has been craved there are still working on the rest I attached a link to the website so you can read about it.The day we went was a special day there was going to be a blast today which meant that part of the mountain they were carving on was going to be blasted out for carving purposes. They blasted away 200 tons of rock seems like a crazy amount I recorded the blast I will attached the video here.
There is a museum of all kinds of history about crazy horse and the culture it is amazing to see all the good that the Indians have made, how they lived and they actually have Indians there are making jewelry by hand now that you can buy to support their tribes. This gift shop is huge and there are a lot of authentic Indian items for purchase .
Second thing of the list for today is heading into Custer,SD just to walk around the small town very cute and quaint. There are buffalo statues on almost every corner with unique painting on them I tried to get pictures of then all but I think I miss 3 or 4 I will have to get them again. There are some fun things to do here but we did not have all the time to do then today so next time we get to town we will. After walking around on the beautiful day we decided that burger and fries sounded really good for lunch we happen to walk upon Black Hills Burger & Bun http://blackhillsburgerandbun.com/ omg!! this place is so good it is very small inside and it was packed on a Tuesday afternoon I could only imagine what it is on a weekend. The burger was worth the wait so if you have a chance to go there please do.
Now time to head how after a fun day and do laundry UGH... I still wish I could get away with paying someone to do this for me :-) but Todd will not go for it :-(
