"A monument's dimensions should be determined by the importance to civilization of the events commemorated. We are not here trying to carve an epic, portray a moonlight scene, or write a sonnet; neither are we dealing with mystery or tragedy, but rather the constructive and dramatic moments or crises in our amazing history." Gutzon BorglumToday we went to Mt Rushmore. It is so amazing to see the presidents face up on the mountain. The presidents are George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodor Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. The carvings were overseen by famed sculpture Gutzon Borglum. One thing that I thought was interesting was that the project was planned to include the bust of the presidents as well. Originally they thought that it would take 5 years and $500,000.00, however after 1 million dollars and 14 years later they had to stop, due to the lack of funding.

We then went Cosmo’s Mystery… This place was wild. I am not sure what to say about this place, except your mind kept playing tricks on you… it seemed none of us could stand straight up!
