I have a (not-so) secret obsession with Mt. Rushmore. Most people rattle off a list of exotic foreign countries when asked where in the world they'd like to go; for me, that location is not abroad but rather right here in the US in the balmy state of South Dakota. That's right, my dream trip is driving to Mt. Rushmore.
(To be entirely honest, there is one place I'd most like to visit: Saturn. Unfortunately, Saturn is 746 million miles from Portland while Mt. Rushmore is under 1,300 miles, so driving to Mt. Rushmore seems to be a much more appropriate venture. Also, though I could find driving directions to South Dakota, I came to a dead end when searching for a route map to Saturn.)
BUT HOW RAD WOULD IT BE TO GO TO SATURN? I'm so obsessed.
Anyway.
Recently, I rounded up some friends whom I managed to talk into a road trip to Mt. Rushmore. While a date for the journey is yet to be set (though we considered taking off with no map and no guidance other than "east" the other night), I am confidant that this adventure will take place in the near future.
After all... who doesn't dream of seeing a mountain with 4 president's faces chisled into it?

I WANT TO COME. I've never seen and have always wanted to... it seems so completely absurdly amazing that it exists.. and I heard it's a lot smaller in person than one would imagine (no unlike the Statue of Liberty) XXX
done & done. it will be the precursor to our trip to the grand canyon... shit, we need our teal convertible!
