Going to Mount Rushmore

I woke up New Year's Day and realized, I had absolutely nothing on my agenda. So, I hopped in the car and headed north to South Dakota. I have never been to Mount Rushmore. I saw North by Northwest, and that had Cary Grant at Mount Rushmore..but other than living vicariously...I've never been. And now that I have gone, I will admit that it is a cool thing. But, not much different then seeing it on the big screen. And unlike in North by Northwest, one cannot get as close to the monument as Mr. Grant did. As far as experiences go, I am glad I did it...but now that i have a year long season pass to the park (it was included in the cost of admission), I don't really think i need to go back.
