Noelle and I both have a history with Mount Rushmore. We've both worked the July 3rd fireworks spectacular travesty in the past. I worked it once, Noelle twice. When I worked the event in 2003, the honored disgraced speaker was Bill Janklow. In addition, on a cold morning in November of 2015 I did a hike from Horsethief Lake to the National Memorial, only to discover the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, filming some scenes there. He would pass less than a year later.
Today, Noelle and I did our American duty and took Sierra to see the faces of four dead white guys carved into the granite in the heart of the Black Hills.
We paid the
and toured the exhibits. Unfortunately, the President's Trail and Sculptor's Studio were closed. We left after about an hour and a half and stopped at the overlook of George Washington's profile on the way out.
