When did you go to the States? My girlfriend and I made pretty much this same trip this summer -- nine days that took us down to Deadwood and back up through Pierre and Bismarck. I wouldn't mind talking to you about your trip and some of your impressions. I was not very impressed with Crazy Horse -- it seemed kind of light on history and more of a make-work project for the artist's family. And because they're not taking public money -- which isn't necessarily a bad decision -- it's taken 50 years just to complete the monument's face. I estimate three times this for the sculpture to be completed. As a comparison, Rushmore was completed in 14 years. Anyway, It'll be good to get your comments. :) --Deron Hi Saskboy.
