I set out early from Rapid City, SD in order to see the historical monument at first light. It was dark and quiet for the 30 minute drive on a very mild December morning. As the sun rose, a long thin cloud sandwiched the sun between it and the far horizon. It added just a little more warmth to the sculpture at the time of the year when all four presidential busts are illuminated. I was all by myself and was in awe of this magnificent creation, inspired by some of the great leaders of our past.
