Mount Rushmore in April

On April 12th I paid a visit to the South Dakota School of Mines in Rapid City, South Dakota. Upon my arrival, my host took me out to a quick salad lunch and then drove me 30 minutes to Mount Rushmore. We stayed about an hour looking at the mountain, and walking through the visitor's center. Inside the visitor's center they have some of the original tools used to sculpt the presidents' faces, and the original models. It is pretty impressive, but you can't get much closer than shown in the pictures we took. As we were leaving the park there was a mountain goat munching grass out on the lawn like it was no big deal.
