Day 4: Billings, Montana continued p.3

And of course Gabi needed to be in the picture, but since she wasn't allowed anywhere near Mt. Rushmore, we took her to a nearby mountain and took her picture with Indiana Mo.  She loved it and didn't realize that she was being denied the "real" thing.

But, of course you might want to see the real thing without all these people.  It is really a sight to behold.  The scale is amazing.  Each of the presidents would be over 400 feet tall if they were full figures rather than just the heads.  The presidents are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.  Hard to imagine that these heads were carved on the side of a mountain by a group of men working over a number of years.  Truly something to see!
