Crazyhorse, buffalo and Needles

Wednesday was a repositioning cruise. We left the shoehorn KOA on the cliff side and went 60 miles south to Custer's Gulch RV Park. Supposedly where Custer camped before his haircut.

We stopped off and saw the Crazy Horse memorial. Some people are spatially challenged. This project is testimony. Started 70 years ago, the original sculptor has since passed and several of his 10 kids have too, some of the rest are still connected to the project.

It's huge, and by comparison, they say Mt Rushmore's 4 presidents would fit where the Chiefs hair will be! They keep drilling and blasting and it remains privately funded.

We continued to the campground which has very spacious sites and a very nice backdrop. We connected with Larry and Linda who are here 10 days. 

Thursday we took a drive through Custer State Park and the Needles Highway, and saw buffalo and other wildlife, then met with Larry and Linda and rented an ATV for the afternoon. They provided a very accurate GPS app mapping our location on the national forest trail system.

We bumped along on trails I wouldn't walk on and good quality gravel roads, and it is street legal on the roads here too.
