Wanted to touch base for just a bit. Pretty uneventful.
The bad header picture is the burial site at Wounded Knee. It's run down. Depressing like other things here.
Crazy Horse
was killed here and the building is a replica.
I respect that Ann I really do and think I understand at least a little bit.
Drive on driver.
Have a good one. Very warm the last two days.
Take heart that you are seeing more of this country and it's history than 95% of the rest of the population will ever get to do again.
ReplyDeleteEven if they wanted to.
Have a good time my friend.
I got lucky and got to see a great deal of this nation in my time. All but the Islands, Alaska and the North East.
I ain't dead yet either.
Wind-swept desolation. Interesting, none-the-less.
ReplyDeleteEver read bury my heart as wounded knee? That really is depressing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Busted I do enjoy this and chances are low I will ever get back this way again.
ReplyDeleteThe wind wasn't blowing Leslie and I very much enjoyed the drive through the southern part of South Dakota and you are correct by the way.
I have Jim and the condition of this site is a direct reflection of the plight and attitude of Native Americans.
Interesting shape of the memorial on the site where Crazy Horse was killed!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad chapter in US history. It seemed better tended when I last saw it 40 years ago.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen that Duta but it's years out when this will be completed.
ReplyDeleteBefore the siege TC. Bad shape for sure. Had a fellow come up and hit me for some money and he brought up that period. These Native Americans continue to battle.
