It's a site to behold the first time in real life... My first time I was 12 years old.

Thank you to @Stevie n @DRwyoming

I believe that is Krog from Thor-Ragnarok, or "The Thing" Russ Grimm from the fantastic four.... Either way he blended in well don't you think?

It's all good!! I knew exactly what you were talking about because I saw that too.... Funny enough not while I was there but afterwards.

Nice photo of Mt Rushmore. Well done. Do you have any from the evening light show? Last time we were there five years ago shot some nice photos and for the first time took night pictures. Several of us had problems with people kicking our tripod legs so you had to really watch the people when they crowd in to see better.
