Short jaunt from Mitchell to the Black Hills of South Dakota. Some fun mountain roads in this area.

Our first stop brings us near Custer, SD. It is the site of the in-progress memorial to the Lakota chief Crazy Horse. This sculpture is absolutely massive. You can read the insane stats on the website (e.g. the pupil of each eye is 3ft in diameter, all four heads of Mt. Rushmore would fit in his head, etc). It's estimated that it is only about 10% complete.

It's already a mighty impressive memorial, but should be absolutely incredible when they finish (hopefully sometime in my life!).
