Like Crazy Horse we found Mt, Rushmore as we came around another sharp bend in the road. After spending time at Crazy Hourse including a Four Dollar bus trip to the base of the mountain. we decide to push on with a pass to return to see the light show at 9:00pm. Out lodgings are in Keystone the closes town to Mt. Rushmore, so Homer replotted a course with the help of Gertie and we found ourselfs on a winding road assending a moutain. Proceeding Homer hypoizied that we were on the backside of the mounaament. The mountain side did not look like Dr Pages picture but I did not doubt Homer. Sure enough Mt. Rushmore was ion front of us. For a few fleeting moments we toyed with the idea of a quick look from the road. But having come this far and waited this long we had to enter the premises. Happyly we learned that out ten US dollars buys us a pass for the remainder of 2010. We took enough picture to make our spouses nuts and tried to send immidaite emails to them and the childern. But I guess ATT''S map does not include Mt. Rushmores bit Verizons did so Homer was able to announce my arrival to the world. Tommorw we return for a close inspection and hopefully the light show.

Love the last picture - but if your head was moved a few inches up it would have looked like Crossett, Jefferson, Roosevelt & Lincoln on the mountain. Then again, if you were facing the other direction it would have looked like you were making Mssr. Washington a very happy general.
Congrats!! I'm almost disappointed that you're there already -keep the blog going when you get to Harry Potter's place - I want to hear(and see photos) of that too!

Congratulations , Bill! You're living my dream! - Audrey
