From Cody, Wyoming, we headed for Rapid City, South Dakota and Mount Rushmore. It was a full day's drive and we ended up getting to the memorial around 7:00 PM, which gave us just enough time to tour the site and museum, watch a couple of movies about the carvings, listen to the park ranger's talk, and see the presidents lit up while the national anthem played. This was probably my fourth time at Mount Rushmore and I'd been wanting to see it at night. I especially enjoyed how close we were able to get to the statues, standing right underneath them at the base of the mountain.
In the museum, they have a "life size" picture of Lincoln's eye.
So that's what Mt. Rushmore looks like (we went the summer before I got glasses; I spent most of the trip behind Dad's fold-up binoculars). Love getting the updates and pics. So can you have Phillip email us pictures of the house if you don't want to post them on the blog? Mom and I want to see how everything's pulling together! Hope to be seeing you soon.
