Where the Deer and the Antelope Play

 Hello Everyone,

We started our day at the Crazy Horse Memorial which is very close to Mount Rushmore.

The memorial is far from done and it will not be completed anytime soon as there are only 14 people working on this ambitious project.  It was started in 1948......so that gives you an idea of just how long it has taken just to get to this point.

The magnitude of Crazy Horse dwarfs the faces on Mount Rushmore.  The faces on Mount Rushmore would fit in the top part of the mountain by the Crazy Horse face. We are still enjoying the awesome fall colors.

This is what the sculpture will look like when it is finished. Crazy Horse is pointing his finger toward his native lands; that finger looks very vulnerable to breakage if you ask me.

These quilts were hanging in the museum.

We made a right turn after coming out of the Black Hills and soon we were in Wyoming. There aren't any bullet holes in this sign. When we cross into Utah today, we will be traveling through our 8th state.

The storm clouds started gathering and we had to turn on the wipers.

We were wondering if it was tornado season, so I texted Mr. Joe.  His reply........only in Wyoming!

It was quite stark in areas.  We were on one road that gave me the heebie-jeebies since we had no cell service, and we were out in the middle of nowhere. There was an occasional truck, and the houses were few and far between. It was a long 50 miles of me praying to reach a safe haven.  

We made it to Rock Springs, WY for the evening.  Today we are going to make a run across all of Utah and our destination for tonight is Winnemucca, Nevada.  It's going to be a looooonnnnnggggg day.  I want to be sleeping in my own bed Thursday night. I'm just like a horse heading for the barn.

Soon,

Lynn
