Rushed for More?

I was starting to worry that Holland and Whitney were exhausted from our maniacal park-hopping schedule.  We had maintained a grueling pace, and I wasn't sure if the Black Hills and Badlands would measure up to the previous parks. 

If they had those reservations, they were quickly extinguished.  Mine too.

Mount Rushmore was an opportunity to revisit some major historical events, the leadership that shaped them, and their lasting ramifications for our country and the world. We took the walking ranger tour and learned a lot about Gutzon Borglum, the artist, and why he chose these four faces to represent our country's progress up until 1927.

Dream fulfilled

Afterwards, we speculated what faces could be added, or if Borglum would choose differently today.

Mom quickly ruled out "Mattress Jack."
