I have never been to the Black Hills and would love to go. I have always wanted to see that country and Mt. Rushmore. Thanks for this very interesting and informative post--you have made me want to saddle up and go all over again!<br />CherylCheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-6823390491533785302011-06-06T15:15:51.203-05:002011-06-06T15:15:51.203-05:00AMBER--the movie/documentary we saw about the maki...AMBER--the movie/documentary we saw about the making of the monument was in a theater at the monument site. You know the visitor's center--away from the actual monument, which is being carved from a mountain--where they have all sorts of displays and gifts, and a viewing platform to look at what they do have through a telescope.<br />It's amazing how they do that--with a lot of dynamite. <br />Some day I hope to return.<br />CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-57379286852225045442011-06-06T14:17:27.430-05:002011-06-06T14:17:27.430-05:00Vicki, Colorado has some beautiful mountains, too!...Vicki, Colorado has some beautiful mountains, too!

We were there a few years ago, and they barely had part of his face. There was a money problem, and also dedicated people to work on it. I fear it will never be finished.<br />We watched a film on the blasting and the work that's required, and it is an amazing story. Did you see the film?<br />Thanks for bringing back some special memories.

Of course, where I live is cutting horse country, but I think of cattle as real cowboy country. I also like the country near the 6666 ranch at Guthrie TX.
