| Mt. Rushmore |
| August 28, 2008 |
We took a trip to Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota on the motorcycle this weekend. The ride up there was a lot of fun and the scenery was beautiful. Lucky for us we didn’t run into any rain while on our trip, but came really close a couple of times.
On our first night we went and took pictures of the monument all lit up. It was amazing to see it at night like that.
It was pretty cold the first night camping, but got warmer as the weekend went on. We went and visited the monument during the day as well and went thru the museum too. It is pretty cool to see how they drilled everything out of the mountain side to get the faces formed.
We also rode down the President’s Alpine Slide. I have never been on an Alpine slide before and ended up having a lot of fun.
Before we left we did take a train ride on the 1880 Train. It went from Hill City to Keystone, South Dakota. There were so many old building along the way to see. Some of them were holding together pretty well and others were falling apart. It would have been neat to do a shoot in some of them.
