Mount Rushmore

We use to camp out a lot when we were young. The earliest memory of my dad taking us on a road trip was to Mount Rushmore. It probably looks a lot different today. The pictures I took of the place isn't all that good but they capture the memory. The kid in the picture is some random person that got in the way.

Here is a fun fact: The black hills were very Sacred to the Lakota Sioux. Mount Rushmore is an insult to some Sioux because it stands on land that was taken away from them, it is on sacred grounds and it celebrates the European settlers that have tormented and killed them throughout the years. The original faces were suppose to be of western heroes including Native American heroes.
