So, Mount Rushmore is really quite impressive. The fact that this took 15 years to carve into the face of a mountain with pretty basic tools (and a lot of blasting) with no deaths was also amazing. The workers were mostly working in bosun chairs, dangling from the top and winched up and down into place. They had plaster models to work from, and apparently the sculptor was very exacting and hands on.
The site was jazzed up with flags of the states but not heavily patriotic.
the third picture is interesting don't you think? Laurie has some ideas about the visage on the L.
