Is this really what you see when you look at Mt Rushmore from your

I just got back from seeing Mount Rushmore in person and I was less than
impressed. I understand the effort and talent involved in sculpting in
the medium but the size was unimpressive.

Did you go see crazy horse?

Yeah, I was driving the trail vehicle with the tinted windows and we
only had to pay $20 to get in.

I choked at the $20 and admired it from the road. (every time we went
anywhere it seemed) Now if they were actually blasting some rock I
might have ponied up.

We went on a Tuesday and I was hoping that some explosions were going to
happen. But, all that happened was my wife spend a couple of hundred
dollars on some jewelery.

Mt Rushmore is pretty cool from Iron Mountain Road (or whatever that
mule trail is called).

You are out in the West with the wide expanses with the huge mountains
and such and the faces on Rushmore were really small.
