I've looked North, West, East and South. I've looked high and I've looked low.....and yes, maybe not so dead.

I don't know. Could be Xylonium or ThreeSigmium or perhaps nothing.

The obscurely-named Clinton Rock is in the area.  The Clinton rock, or as I posted, slick Willie's willie, is plainly seen if you are looking anatomically. For another version, softer, is this tree seen just off the AT (rather than the PCT) For extra credit, we hikers gave this tree a fake latin name. Anyone wanna guess?

Oh dear, this thread does veer off at a tangent sometimes!

Steve and Wagga have the place, but the specific answer(s) to the question may be more elusive. You may have to drill down more than a little bit. By now, everyone knows the place. But who are those guys? We all know the four dead white guys who are the official residents: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. In 1937, there was a bill in Congress to add Susan B. Anthony. There is something of a movement to add Ronald Reagan (presumably for his leadership of SAG). And there is an unofficial fifth face up there already.

Known to the Lakota and others as the Six Grandfathers, this was the most sacred place in the sacred Black Hills, dwelling place of the six deities that figured so prominently in the visions of Black Elk, representing the four directions, the sky and the earth, before Doane Robinson and Gutzon Borglum took over.

OK, he nailed it and I failed to notice. I do not want to use the pictures of mineral and vegetable phalli as an excuse, though. I'll just say I was making some post-Borglum contributions.
