While visiting friends in South Dakota, it was absolutely necessary to visit Mt; Rushmore. So, we got an early start (normal getting up time for my companions, about three hours too early for me,) and headed out from Custer to visit the famous carvings in the mountain. Our host was driving and he promised me a surprise. When we finally came near the park, he said he was going to take a back road that most people did not use. We were driving along and rounded one of the many curves in the road, and suddenly there he was....George Washington in all his rocky splendor. His profile was the only thing you saw. It kinda took your breath away. Now I look at his face and think about all he did to help the United States become the wonderful country that it is today, our freedoms, our Constitution, the hopes and dreams of all who were settling this country. He fought hard for all those things, and I can't help but wonder as I gaze upon his likeness chiseled there in the mountain, what he must be thinking about how we have kept his legacy alive.
