Mount Rushmore

Gwen and I made a short side-trip to Mount Rushmore during our trip out to Washington State. We lucked out, as we had great weather when we made it out to the monument, and we practically had the place to ourselves seeing as it was the middle of the off season. All in all, I'm really glad that I listened to Gwen (this was her idea!).

This was the first clear view we got of the monument.	Leading up to the mounument is this display of the state flags.

This is a shot from the museum that is near the monument.	This advertisment from the museum advertises how the monument workers used Bromo Seltzer!
Here s a good over-all view of the monument. Warning! This is a BIG picture!
