Wonderful sharing good to see you again enjoy the weekend 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@BulldogBadger]

Thank you so much, sorry for the delay replying 👏

[@philcole7788]

You people who say it will never be finished. This was started by one man, he cut the roads, built every building and turned down govt financing to do this. Now his kids have taken the reins using blueprints and notes by their father. It may not be finished in my lifetime but I have seen amazing progress and I am 79 and live 40 miles from the carving.

[@BulldogBadger]

No problem, I just appreciate you watching and commenting, thank you so much! 👏👏🍿

[@JenniferLupine]

Awesome! We’ve driven through that area but never had the time to stop and tour the Crazy Horse Memorial. It’s so impressive- I love that you can see his face clearly now! ❤❤ Very well done video! I really enjoyed seeing the exhibits that touch on so many aspects including the Bison. Wow, I can’t even imagine the skill and planning that it takes to coordinate and execute this massive project. It’s really coming along- a work of several lifetimes. We’ll definitely make time to stop next time!! 👌🌟🌟🌟👍👍

[@BulldogBadger]

There was soooo much to see there it makes Rushmore look bad (and it isn’t), I really enjoyed it! Well worth stopping in if you are ever in the area, thanks for watching!👏

[@openmindedwonderer]

Stunning place, so much to see and great premier. Safe travels 😊

[@BulldogBadger]

Thank you Cara! Very much appreciated👏🍿

[@WeGoPlacesTours]

Wow this is incredible Bulldog. That’s a very long time for the completion . I really enjoyed the tour of the museum. Your lucky to get to see it in person and it’s interesting to see the photos of the progress of the carving. 👍😊🇨🇦

[@BulldogBadger]

It was one of the coolest places I have been to visit in the states so far! Really loved the fact that they flat out refused government funding for it

[@nationalparksprincess3216]

I really enjoyed watching your tour of the Crazy Horse Monument. The museum and grounds are so nice 😊

[@BulldogBadger]

Thank you so much for watching and taking time to comment! It is a great place and I can’t wait to see the progress over the coming years!

[@STTC]

That looks as though it will be amazing! great video Sir

[@BulldogBadger]

Thanks brother!! It was such a cool place to visit, i just got done editing the next video, cant wait for this one

[@wendingourway]

It will certainly be quite impressive when it is complete! Bruce and Otis

[@BulldogBadger]

It sure will be, the largest carving in the world! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 👏🍺

[@generationxperiences]

We just watched this on the big tv 📺 wow what an incredible place! Superb history and artefacts in that incredible museum and the carving in the mountain side is incredible! A Rushmore for the Native Americans is a superb idea would love to see it completed but 100 years is a tad too long to wait 🤣 have a great weekend and cheers for showing us this awesome place ❤️

[@BulldogBadger]

It was fantastic a super cool place to visit! I hope I get to see it somewhere near complete, with the amount of people they have working there now and the advance in technology it may be possible!

[@1982Noddin]

Epic place, nice video mate 😊

[@BulldogBadger]

Thank you so much! It was way cooler than Rushmore and I love that they refused government funding to get it done too! 👏🍺

[@ramblingracheltrailtales]

What an interesting place. It’s good to see Native American history revealed and explored. 😊

[@BulldogBadger]

It was an amazing place, more impressive than rushmore tbh

[@GENerationXplorers]

Sorry bulldog came in late to the prem but looked awesome we will catch from the beginning ❤️

[@BulldogBadger]

No problem! I appreciate you both stopping in to watch and comment, thank you so much👏🍿

[@Twin_Peaks_Outdoors]

Nice one Damian, amazing how they cut the faces out on those rocks 😮 one thing the Americans do well is exhibitions with so much to see over there, well put together and great music choice as well Cheers Mark & Simon 👌👍

[@BulldogBadger]

The next one on Friday has even better music, i’m excited for that! This place was way better than rushmore imo.. thanks for watching👏🇺🇸

[@ms.kayak7seas]

Hi Mr. Badger Great selection of your music. So much history I have never told before, especially regarding designing and constructing the Mount Rushmore to Native Americans, the US President...Countless artifacts are exhibited. I would love to visit someday. You will see Stone Mountain in GA sometime. Apologies for my comment being short since I hurt my ribs So sorry I completely forgot about your premiere. ciao

[@BulldogBadger]

Thank you so much!! I hope your ribs are feeling better soon! It is a great place to visit, and stone mountain in GA is on my list of places to go! Best wishes you you and Mr Kayak and speak soon!! 👋☕️

[@ms.kayak7seas]

@@BulldogBadger Thank YOU, Badger for Starbucks. hehe. You are one of the handful PPL who really express appreciation to American history and culture. See you soon. ciao

[@BulldogBadger]

@@ms.kayak7seas I really love america and the culture, I feel blessed to get to see these kinds of places

[@ms.kayak7seas]

@@BulldogBadger Thank YOU, Badger. I have opportunities to learn American History through your eyes. Fascinating....Cannot wait next vid haha

[@BulldogBadger]

@@ms.kayak7seas I actually got done editing it yesterday, it will be pretty cool! It will be the auto museum that I went too with a dukes of hazzard car and the smokey and the bandit car, it had a lot of interesting vehicles and artefacts, it will be like a wades wasteland video

[@GENerationXplorers]

Hi Bulldog 👋 not sure if we have told you before but we are loving your intro, we need to get an intro sorted! Wow so they are in the process of making another Rushmore but for the Native Americans? This is incredible, what a place and the work going into the carvings is phenomenal! It’s not going to be completed for 100 years 😳 wow that museum and the history is fantastic! You are so lucky to get to visit this place and we are super lucky you can take us along! The artefacts are incredible, reminds us of the whole Yellowstone series we are watching! Fabulous video, thank you and have a great weekend 👍❤️

[@BulldogBadger]

Thank you Nick! That was a lot of effort and swearing to make that intro LOL I hope to see this finished at some point, i hope with the amount of people working on it now and the advance in technology that it might be faster, i am also watching yellowstone whenever i am travelling its a great series! I just got done editing the next video whilst on a long layover at the airport and I am excited about it already! Thanks again for watching and commenting I really appreciate it!

[@AvaPotterfieldandFriends]

Very interesting ❤. We are new to your channel.

[@BulldogBadger]

Thank you so much I really appreciate you watching and commenting👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@norwolf4765]

IT will never be finished.

[@BarrettRodriguez]

They have been working on this since I was a kid. Pretty soon there won't be any craftsmen do complete it.

[@BulldogBadger]

I think they will get it done, they have more people working on it all the time, they work longer hours and 7 days a week and technology is only getting better all the time, they think it will be done within the current lead sculptors lifetime

[@davidcraig3793]

I have a Brother that's Native American! Not by blood but Spirit and friendship! I'm told the Crazy Horse Memorial receives No Government Help! Only a few are able to continue the project! Think about it!

[@jonclegg8903]

Didn’t realise how much more work they’re doing at the site, I thought it was just the head carving in the rock. Damn…. You’ll have to go back in a hundred years and give us an update 😂

[@BulldogBadger]

They have loads to do but when you study it they have cleared almost all the rock now around so they can start to carve it, and the technology has improved too.. I think it will be done in 50 years

[@johnlynch78]

I submit that you may have misheard your tour guide. The estimated time to complete the project was 100 years, at its inception. There are wording to complete the project around 2045

[@marbleman52]

I assume that working on this memorial costs millions of $$$$, so my sincere and honest question is : Are the casinos that are owned by various Indian tribes donating any money to help with the project?

[@BulldogBadger]

Thank you for watching and taking time to comment! As far as I understand it, it is fully funded by admissions to the site and all other site revenue such as the bus and van tours and souvenir sales and donations

[@marbleman52]

@@BulldogBadger Thank you for responding so quickly...nice. So now I have another question. If it is fully funded, then why is it taking so long. Is it lawsuits or something like that that is holding up the work? The design looks great and would be a fantastic tribute to Crazy Horse and to the native American Indian race and cultures. And the completed memorial would probably draw even more people than what it does now and that revenue base would be a huge benefit for the local & state needs.

[@BulldogBadger]

@@marbleman52 the main reason it is slow going is that for years it wasn’t a huge project it was a one guy deal working with a rope and dynamite, but now they have a team on it working all day everyday, and another huge problem they have is the rock they chose because of the colour to represent the native indian skin tone is very rich in iron to is much harder to sculp than that at Rushmore for example and they need diamond coated/tipped tools for that work

[@marbleman52]

@@BulldogBadger Thanks for explaining why it's been a slow process...very informative.

[@murphy4yt]

Short answer, it won’t.

[@philcole7788]

You are wrong.

[@BulldogBadger]

Longer answer, it will! The only variable is when
