DAY 2
Wednesday we woke up to blue skies and sunshine! Hooray! It was a perfect day to go see Mt. Rushmore! We rented this little Jeep Compass that was really fun to drive around in. Randel was a great driver, he found his way around like a pro taxi driver!
As we walked in, there's a long walkway leading to the mountain. Further along there was a display of all the US flags!
The terrace and below is the amphitheater for the night show.
We rented hand held recorders to listen to as we walked the
"Presidential Trail"
We walked into this cave on the Trail and could see Washington through the crack.
Looking up at the 450,000 tons of rock that was blasted off. Dynamite was used to remove 90% of the rock to get to the good granite underneath.
Our final look at the mountain was we drove away! What an awesome day!
