Mount Rushmore Where Legends are Born Tuesday, February 12, 13
The Perks Its only a 10-hour drive and well get to stop at important cities like Rawlins, Wyoming Well make lifelong memories with good friends Well split a hotel room and get minimal sleep Think of all the INSTAGRAMS and VINES We can 鍖nd ourselves Well incessantly reference our adventure as a BROadtrip and write new songs for our punk band Mount Rush Core Tuesday, February 12, 13

The Rules Only Patriotic attire throughout the weekend We listen to Proud to be an American and Chariots of Fire once every hour, on the hour All roadtrippers must be willing to stop at ghost towns, unreviewed restaurants, and indian trading posts We watch Richie Rich and North by Northwest Tuesday, February 12, 13
If they did it, so can we Youre Fired Tuesday, February 12, 13
Dont Just Believe Me Having seen it in pictures so many times it was hard to believe we were actually standing here! We found it very easy and well laid out in terms of parking and the visitor centre etc. We also met the last surviving worker who helped to make Mount Rushmore, who has written a book about the experience that was on sale in the gift shop. He was there signing copies and chatting to people when we visited which was really cool. Tuesday, February 12, 13
Dont Just Believe Me My parents took us here for the 鍖rst time in 1968. Forty-four years later, I was back and bringing my partner here for his 鍖rst visit. The change and improvements to this site have been amazing. The park is absolutely beautiful and impressive. Staring at the four presidents made my throat tight with emotion as a bead of a tear formed in one eye. With so many negative things going on these days, here was a symbol of my country that I can look at with pride. I also stopped one of the NPS rangers to thank them for the work that they do. People, the NPS is a huge blessing and priceless asset this country has. Please take advantage of it whenever you can. There were ample walkways, an area with all the state 鍖ags, an amphitheater, gift shop, clean and spacious restrooms, plenty of parking and the pine hills surrounding the park are absolutely gorgeous. The weather was perfect which really helps. Bottom line... Stunning...Wonderful...Beautiful. Tuesday, February 12, 13
Final Argument Lets Ride Tuesday, February 12, 13
Leave Saturday morning at 9am to arrive in Rapid City, SD at 7pm Check in Saturday night Catch Church in Rapid City Sunday morning then head to see the Dead Prez Explore the Mount Rushmore area Stay one more night at our motel of choice Leave Monday morning for Provo, UT, arrive around dinner time The Itinerary Tuesday, February 12, 13
