The flat spot of the arm and the hole was there then. The face has been filled out a little, but I don't expect it ever to be done.<BR/><BR/>Not to be picking nits, but those were Bighorn Sheep, not Rocky Mountain goats. The Goats would be white with short horns. A very nice encounter, something that I'm jealous of, since I've never encountered either Rocky Mountain Goats or Bighorn Sheep. Now Buffalo, I've seen in Custer St. Park.Paul Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02159194518854240946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960489912308504246.post-4269785664370761092008-10-24T07:33:00.000-07:002008-10-24T07:33:00.000-07:00Hmmm...Crazy Horse has barely changed since I was ...Hmmm...Crazy Horse has barely changed since I was there 20 years ago. You can see the nose and the hole under the arm. I wonder if they will ever finish it?<BR/><BR/>I remember those pig-tail bridges and tunnels in the Black Hills. I don't know if you were on the right highway or not, but one of those tunnels perfectly frames Mount Rushmore as you approach.<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the ride, Jay.

It was worth it.<BR/><BR/>Apparently my company has some sort of connection with the Crazy Horse Monument because of the blasting equipment they use and we can go up the mountain for free as an employee. Hmmm...I'm thinking plans for me to go out west, maybe next year, are starting to form in my little head.<BR/><BR/>(Common Tater - BWAAHAHAHA!!
