Day 3, Return to Mount Rushmore.

We returned to Mt. Rushmore once more to see what we missed.

Scale model. I got much better photos in daylight this time. We followed a steep path and steps to the workshop where Borglum had sculpted a 1/12 size set of figures. These was used to provide measurements for the actual rock removal. The model shows hands and details down to the waist. The actual carving was not completed below Lincoln’s wrist.  Oldies that we are, we decided not to follow the ‘strenuous’ path named Presidents Walk.

Which is the model?

“Jan, I know we had continental breakfast but I’m starving.” Guess that gives us the privilege to say we had both dinner and breakfast with four Presidents.
