Great rendering and your comments are worth reading more than once. Thanks for the drawing and the narrative.

Finally someone talking about the sculptor! I hope to commit Gutzlom Borglum name to memory. Thanks for the history lesson.
Much appreciated Frank.
Yes, Borglum is quite the interesting fellow. I’m not in sync with his philosophy and I don’t view grand scale sculpting/demolition of gorgeous mountains the way I may have in the past, but he was one determined soul. When we look at how we alter the natural environment, we’d have to look at dams and the construction of roads and tunnels thru mountain ranges, mining and mountain top removal for coal and minerals. Benefits weighed against long term costs. Still, it’s remarkable the scale of some projects.
