Lakota Dancers

A descendant of Crazy Horse's, with his son and grandson, demonstrated some Lakota dancing in full native costume.

Beads

I thought this display was fascinating.  It's jars of beads arranged like a rainbow.  This is only half of them.

Crazy Horse Memorial

This memorial is quite moving.  Korczak Ziolkowski started working on it in 1948 and seven of his children are continuing his work since his death in 1982.

Welcome to South Dakota

South Dakota is number five, the fifth new state.  We will probably do two more, leaving just seven left to do some time in the future.

Wyoming Prairie

And on and on and on . . .

The Classic Prairie Icon

We had to get this shot.  What would the prairie be without this image.  Look at how bright the grass is.

Blue Flax

This blue flax surrounded the rest area we stopped at in the Wyoming prairie.  When we were in the gift shop at the Crazy Horse Memorial, I bought some blue flax, blazing star and Turk's cap lily seeds.
