Black Hills SD - Mt Rushmore - Rose's Viewpoint

June 2^nd – Mt Rushmore. Finally we get to see Mt Rushmore- can’t believe it. Took Iron Mountain Road from south to north and what views! There are three small (no RV’s thru these babies) tunnels blasted through rock with large signs stating “honk horn when approaching”. Let me say they mean – honk the horn!! These are single lane tunnels with significant curves at both ends—so no way could you see if anyone was coming before you enter the tunnel. Better yet- imagine seeing Mt Rushmore off in the distance framed in these tunnels- OMG—worth repeating – OMG. That’s what I was also saying as Noel stopped in the middle of the tunnel to take pictures—OMG- no one behind us or in front of us could know we were in this tunnel. Bet you know what happened next- the entire time Noel was taking pictures I was honking the horn—yup they sure knew we were in the tunnels  J J Now, what about Mt Rushmore—what can anyone say—it’s reverent and masterful. You are humbled the moment you get there and even more so at the evening monument lighting when the veterans are honored. It’s an experience unlike any other – enough said!
