Here we are at Mt. Rushmore. WOW! A very spectacular, massive, unbelievable carving in solid granite and the largest monument in the world. We visited the Borglum Museum, who was the sculptor, together with 400 workers, who created the faces of 4 presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Roosevelt and Lincoln. It was completed in 1941, 6 months after Borglum died. Absolutely incredible!!! We were honored to meet one of the original drillers, Nick Clifford, while there.
Much more to see and do this week! See you later!

Mt. Rushmore has changed in the past 50 years.
However still grand.
Janet adds I'm not that old.
