Today at Mt. Rushmore

We're on a Tech Scout for National Treasure 2. Some of these shots were taken from the top of the head of George W (no, the other one ) Except for the first shot, the rest are definitely NOT on the public tour.



This is the Hall of Records behind the heads where the sculptor wanted to store permanent documents that would explain what Mt. Rushmore was if someone found it thousands of years later, sort of like the pyramids in Egypt.

You can see the drill marks in the granite. They basically drilled it out with thousands of drill holes.

The perpetual documents for history are 23 porcelean plaques explaining what Mt. Rushmore is are sealed in this monument. Again, not on the public tour.



Me standing on the top of George Washington's head looking down at Lincoln. No guardrails no cables. Definitely not on the public tour.
