Mount Rushmore





We decided to spend our first full day in South Dakota at Mount Rushmore since it was the attraction that drew us to South Dakota. Even though Roger had been to Mt. Rushmore in high school, and I had, of course, seen pictures of the sculpture many times, we very much enjoyed the experience. There is something sooooo wonderfully American about looking upon this amazing work of art.

The flags leading up to the sculpture viewing area represent the 50 states.

the ranger in the last picture is using rock tools to remove hair remnants from a buffalo hide so that it can be tanned.
