So what do I do on election night, when everyone is feeling the least patriotic they’ve felt in a very long time?
I decide to post patriotic pictures of Mount Rushmore.
Go me.
So yep. Pictures from a few months ago when we drove by Mount Rushmore, finally seeing the actual thing after two thwarted attempts I shall not go into.
Enjoy.
From the parking lot top.
These pillars near the entrance were actually really cool. And I got it just right when there were no people so yay. :3
Did you know they have all the state flags in a cool sort of entrance to the monument? I didn’t. O.o
I don’t know, I liked the long shot because from all the touristy shots I never would have known there were trees down there. 😛 And I do so love pine trees…
Faith being SO CUUUUTE. <3<3<3
I just can barely stand it sometimes. The little smirk. ❤
Anyway, hope you liked the pictures!
Survive the election, ‘kay guys?
Please comment!

I love the picture of the pillars. I’m currently up awaiting election results, but I’m getting tired enough I think I’m going to go to bed. They haven’t called it, but the election is leaning strongly one way.
Thanks! 😀
Yeah… *sigh* I keep swinging between freaking out about it and just an ‘eh, who cares really. what happens happens’ attitude.
So pretty! That’s really cool. I’ve never been, the one thing to see in America… and you’re sister is abordable! Good job!
Thank you! 🙂
It really is played up quite a bit for the five minutes or so you stand there looking at it.
But it is pretty neat if you’re in the area. 😉
Haha so I’ve heard. Yea. Maybe I’ll drop by one of these days…
I have visited Mt. Rushmore and the Black Hills a few times. I love it there. Great photos! 🙂
Thank you! 😀
You actually had sunshine to see it. XD those are so pretty. 🙂 and the one with your sister is priceless. XD
when we went, it was very very foggy…we got to see it once before it got really bad, though. 😛 My dad, as a former military person, got to help with the flag ceremony at the end of the day, which was really cool. 🙂
*cough*anddontforgetalltheNationalTreasurereferences*cough* XP
I know, right?
Blech. The other two times… so the park is open until like 10, okay. So we go to see it at 9:30 AND THEY TURNED THE FLIPPING LIGHTS OFF AT 8. LIKE WHY EVEN KEEP THE PARK OPEN PEOPLE WE CAN’T SEE ANYTHING.
And then second try, stupid google maps routed us to the back of Mount Rushmore… -.-
*cough* yesyesit’stotallyacoverup *cough*
This is really great. We have such a beautiful country.
Your photos are amazing! I’ve had no idea the area around Mount Rushmore (like the pine trees and pillars) even existed until I saw your photos!
Thank you!
Yeah, no one ever seems to take pictures of anything but the faces themselves. It’s actually a pretty cool area.
I love it! 😀
Thanks! 😀
I honestly read the title as “mount mustache.” America
XD Now that would be an interesting monument…
It would X-D
A giant furry mountain of a mustache….
X-D A worthy monument to Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart! X-D
