Something really cool about giant statues. I hope they complete it in my lifetime.

The guides talked about this while we were there, as "When will it be done?" is their most frequently asked question. They basically said "No promises, but they're hoping to get a lot done over the next few decades." The willpower seems to be there and technological progress seems to be helping them move faster, so perhaps your hope'll come true.

Except for the thumb part, you actually don't notice it that much. To get up to the top part, you take a van up a hill, which doesn't really put you over any careening cliffs.

Since 1948!!! I really don't understand.

Right?! The nearby Mount Rushmore is a lot smaller but took something like 15 years, so you'd think 75 years would be enough. Probably just really comes down to funding though. They seem to be in a better financial position now., so perhaps you and I will live to see it finished!
