Mount Rushmore
Anyone here been to Mount Rushmore? I saw a documentary yesterday about Mount Rushmore and I didn't realize it started 1927 and finished 1941. When it started people ridiculed it and of course it was built through the depression. Now its probably the most iconic place in america. Definetly want to see it.

See it once and you'll never need to see it again.

That's pretty much true. With my modern sensibilities, I saw it more as an abomination than a monument, and I wasn't expecting that.

That thing's not going to be done before a comet wipes us out.

Holy Cow.....i guess not.
The monument has been in progress since 1948 and is far from completion.[1] Completion is expected in 2120 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_Horse_Memorial

Yup. It's cool, but really a little underwhelming.
Nowhere even close. Crazy horse has most of a face now. Otherwise they're still just digging the mountain out from the bottom up so they can get started on the horse in another 60 years. That thing will not be done in any of our lifetimes.

Crazy Horse is a huge waste of money. FFS.....the ancestors didn't even want it.

I went to Crazy Horse mountain almost 20 years ago and it doesn't look to have changed much since then. I think there are 4 dudes up there who play cards most of the day except when they go out and throw a rock or two over the edge about once every 2 or 3 hours

Took a family trip up to Mr. Rushmore in 2000. Had a great time and really enjoyed all the attractions up there.
