Just to give some credit where it's due...
I flew up to Rapid City today and asked approach to vector me as close as they could to Mt. Rushmore. They were very friendly, cautioned me about the restricted area around the monument, and vectored and suggested altitudes to get as close as was reasonably possible without risking getting busted. Did a nice job. (Still not a great view. Really need to land to see the faces well.) Seems that on a one on one basis I usually get excellent service from controllers, but on a buearacratic level, such as the one described in this link, it gets crazy.
