Mt.Rushmore




Pic.#1 Mt.Rushmore in snow

Pic.#2 A family of Mountain goats chomp on grass at Mt.Rushmore.

While in Custer,SD we saw Mt.Rushmore in the snow! The weather was supposed to clear up (meaning the snow was going to melt!) Well, the weatherman got that very wrong! It snowed the whole time we were there!

Mt.Rushmore was carved (or sculpted) by Borglum. He died before it was finished, so his family finished it for him.

South Dakota needed a tourist spot. They were going to carve wild west heroes, but Borglum took one look and said he was going to make it National. (By Carving Presidents in it) Now, we have a amazing carving!

When we were leaving Rushmore we spied some Mountain Goats! They were just chewing away! I thought they were so cute!!!
